Province of Novara

The province of Novara is home to the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine of Colline Novaresi which was created in 1994 for the red and white Italian wines of the area.

All grapes destined for DOC wine production need to be harvested to a yield no greater than 11 tonnes/ha.

The red wine is a blend of at least 30% Nebbiolo (known under the local name of Spanna), up to 40% Uva Rara and no more than 30% collectively of Croatina and Vespolina.

The finished wine must attain a minimum alcohol level of 11% in order to be labelled with the Colline Novaresi DOC designation.
