Of Puglia’s four DOCGs, Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale is the only denomination that produces solely a sweet red wine--Dolce Naturale, or naturally-sweet. Its production area is identical to that of the Primitivo di Manduria DOP, but it utilises only the Primitivo variety, and its production code specifies a maximum ratio of grapes to must of 60%, equal to 42 hectolitres of wine per hectare, and a minimum finished alcohol of 13%. The minimum residual sugar level must be 50g/litre.
