Grottino di Roccanova is a small Basilicata DOC for Sangiovese-led reds, a rosé and a Malvasia white, with a Riserva matured in caves.
The name points to the grottini, the natural cellars in which local families kept their wine.
The red is 60 to 85% Sangiovese, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia Nera di Basilicata and Montepulciano, each between 5 and 30%. The rosé follows the same recipe. The white is at least 80% Malvasia bianca di Basilicata.
The Riserva may be sold only after 36 months of maturation in a cave, counted from the November after harvest.
The zone covers the full territories of Roccanova, Sant'Arcangelo and Castronuovo di Sant'Andrea, in the province of Potenza.
