IGT area (country wines) for white, red and rosé wines in the Italian region or on the island of Sardinia. It covers 140 hectares of vineyards in numerous municipalities in the province of Olbia-Tempio as well as the municipality of Viddalba in the province of Sassari. Grape varieties authorised in the region may be used. Varietal wines must contain at least 85% of the variety in question, up to 15% may be other varieties. For the wines, a minimum alcohol content is prescribed for each wine type, but no ageing periods.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
