Piedmont DOC Wines
Denominazione d’Origine Controllata (Denomination of Controlled Origin) or DOC is the indication used to distinguish a wine that meets the requisites and conditions established by the wine production specifications.DOC wines have particular qualitative characteristics, obtained exclusively from recommended or authorized vines of the Vitis vinifera species harvested in a region that is determined by and conforms to national or European standards, such as: yield of grapes per hectare, cultivation methods in the vineyard, oenological methods, minimum natural alcohol content and other analytic values related to color, clarity, fragrance, taste. Land of Wine. With almost 3,000,000 hectoliters in 1996, the blessed year of quality, almost like the years of 1989 and 1990, the wine industry of Piedmont reconfirms itself as a region of primary importance in the world. It is not only a question of production and sales. The success of Piedmontese wines has become an important vehicle for the promotion of tourism and, in a broader sense, economic consolidation, employment and social development. The flow of tourism induced by Piedmontese wines, predominantly in the areas of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato (but also in the areas of Pinerolo, Turin, Canavese and Vercelli) has become a reality today. Turnovers from agricultural and tourist enterprises have rocketed. Wine-growing creates jobs and, at least in the Piedmontese hills, it is an activity that is certainly winning and well-paying, as opposed to the pay for harvesting other crops in other areas of the region. A determined region is a wine-growing area or group of areas having particular qualitative characteristics and the name of the are is used to designate the DOC (V.Q.P.R.D.) mark of distinction. There are four new DOCs: Canavese, Pinerolese, Coste del Sesia, Colline Saluzzesi. These are the new denominations of controlled origin that have been added to the broad range of quality wines produced in Piedmont. The accreditation decrees were published in the 'Gazzetta Ufficiale' no. 227 of September 1996. These denominations are reserved to wines that meet the conditions and requisites established by the respective production specifications and came into force as of the 1996 grape harvest. 1.

Verduno Pelaverga or Verduno The Regione has made a noteworthy effort in Langhe and Monferrato to protect the oenological resources of the region by building seven of the eight Wine Cellars, placed under its direct control, all located in castles or palaces or notable artistic distinction. Acqui Terme, Costigliole d’Asti, Vignale for the great wines of the upper and lower Monferrato; Barbaresco, Barolo, Grinzane and Mango for the best of the Langhe. Speaking of Langhe, absolutely worth mention is an enchanting scenario in which culture and nature are joined: the Castle of Grinzane Cavour, which hosts one of the most prestigious literary awards of Italy, is located right in the heart of the Langhe, amidst the hills surrounding Alba. It is in the real heart of Piedmont that the Grinzane Cavour Prize took root. It was founded in 1982 for the purpose of exposing young people to literature to and make them familiar with contemporary novels. Web: http://www.regione.piemonte.it |
