Sizzano DOC
Sizzano DOC is a Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine designation for red wines produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The Sizzano DOC was established in 1969 and covers wines produced in the commune of Sizzano in the province of Novara.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of wine production in Sizzano dates back to the Roman Empire, when the area was known for its high-quality wines. The Sizzano DOC was established in 1969, recognizing the unique characteristics of the wines produced in this region.
Production[edit | edit source]
Sizzano DOC wines are made primarily from the Nebbiolo grape, also known locally as Spanna. The DOC regulations require that Nebbiolo must make up at least 50% of the blend, with Uva Rara and Vespolina grapes making up the remainder. The wines are aged for a minimum of 34 months, with at least 12 months in oak barrels.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Sizzano DOC wines are known for their rich, full-bodied character, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earth. They are typically high in tannins and acidity, making them suitable for aging. The wines often have a deep ruby color, which can develop into a garnet hue with age.
Pairing[edit | edit source]
Sizzano DOC wines pair well with a variety of foods, including red meats, game, and aged cheeses. They are also often enjoyed with traditional Piedmontese dishes, such as risotto and polenta.
