Pignoletto is the name of a native grape from which you get this wine, considered the King of the wines from Colli Bolognesi (Bologna's Hills).
The wine has a straw yellow colour with green hues and delicate, fruity, intense fragrance of hawthorn flowers. The flavour is dry, balanced and persistent.
Pignoletto exists in the Docg denomination (Controlled and guaranteed denomination of origin), Doc (Controlled denomination of origin) and Igt (Typical geographical indication). That explains Giacomo Savorini, director of the Consorzio Vini dei Colli Bolognesi.
"The Docg Pignoletto - said the Consorzio's director - is produced in a more restricted area of the Bologna's Hills, including Monteveglio, Castello di Serravalle, Monte San Pietro and part of the municipal area of Savigno, Zola Predosa and Sasso Marconi. The production method has a particular disciplinary and it exists only in the version of still wine". The Doc Pignoletto is produced in a wider area, ranging from Savignano sul Panaro up to Monterenzio, south of via Emilia and south of Bazzanese street. The Doc is available in the still wine version, but also sparkling, champagne and straw wine. The Igt Pignoletto, finally, covers an area even larger, ranging from Parma up to Sillaro.
