📜 Allerona
Allerona is an Italian PGI (IGT) wine from three communes in the province of Terni, Umbria: white, red and rosé, also frizzante, passito and novello.
Allerona is an Italian wine with a protected geographical indication (PGI), known in Italy as Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT). The grapes come from the whole territory of the communes of Allerona, Castelviscardo and Castelgiorgio in the province of Terni, in south-western Umbria.
The specification covers white, red and rosé wines, also frizzante, as well as passito and novello versions; the name can be followed by a grape variety. White wines are straw yellow, from dry to sweet; red wines are ruby red, from dry to sweet. Minimum total alcohol is 10.5% vol for white and 11% vol for red.
Many varieties are authorised, including Sangiovese, Merlot, Grechetto, Trebbiano Toscano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. Maximum yield is 17 t of grapes per hectare for the basic types and 14 t when a variety is named. The IGT was recognised by ministerial decree of 18 November 1995, and the name has been protected in the EU since 1999.
