DOC area for red wines, rosé wines and white wines in the Italian region of Sicily. The zone's vineyards cover 36 hectares of vines in the two municipalities of Butera, Mazzarino and Riesi in the province of Caltanisetta. The Rosso (also known as Novello) is produced from Calabrese (Nero d'Avola) and/or Cabernet Sauvignon (to. 80%), as well as other authorised varieties (max. 20%). The wine types Rosso Superiore and Rosso Superiore Riserva must contain at least 85% Calabrese. Rosato is made from Calabrese (50-75%) and Nerello Mascalese and/or Cabernet Sauvignon (25-50%).
