New DOC in Piedmont: Alba
>> Tuesday, April 28, 2009
The regional regulators in Piedmont have approved a new DOC, adding to the 44 already present. To qualify for the new DOC Alba the wine has to contain at least 70 % nebbiolo and 15 % barbera, the remaining being made up of other local varieties. The reasons for creating yet another DOC are, it is said, commercial. The city of Alba is internationally well known and will perhaps attract new buyers… www.italiaatavola.net
