Colline Novaresi (wine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colline Novaresi describes several wines from the Italian wine-growing region of the same name in the province of Novara in Piedmont . Until 1994 there were disadvantaged winegrowers who produced good wine in the vicinity of the well-known red wine regions of Ghemme , Sizzano , Boca and Fara , but did not have a marketing platform for their products. On November 5, 1994 , the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC for short) was named Colline Novaresi . The regulation was last modified on March 7, 2014.
