Brindisi DOC
Brindisi DOC is a Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine designation for red and rosé wines from the Brindisi area in the Italian region of Apulia. The DOC was established in 1979 and covers a specific geographical area in the province of Brindisi.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of viticulture in Brindisi dates back to the Roman times. The area's favorable climate and fertile soil have made it an ideal location for wine production for centuries. The Brindisi DOC was officially recognized in 1979, providing a regulatory framework for the production of quality wines in the region.
Production[edit | edit source]
Brindisi DOC wines are primarily made from the Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grape varieties. The DOC regulations stipulate that the wines must contain at least 70% Negroamaro, with the remainder made up of Malvasia Nera and other permitted varieties. The wines are known for their deep ruby color, full-bodied structure, and complex aromas of dark fruit and spices.
Styles[edit | edit source]
Brindisi DOC produces both red and rosé wines. The red wines are typically aged for a minimum of two years before release, with at least one year in oak barrels. The rosé wines, on the other hand, are usually consumed young to preserve their fresh and fruity character.
Pairing[edit | edit source]
Brindisi DOC wines pair well with a variety of dishes due to their robust structure and complex flavors. They are particularly well-suited to hearty meat dishes, pasta with rich sauces, and mature cheeses.
