Alicante is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) (Denominació d'Origen in Valencian) for wines located in the province of Alicante (Autonomous Community of Valencia). There are two separate and distinct sub-zones: Vinalopó, which extends along the banks of the River Vinalopó in the southern area of the province, where the Monastrell grape variety and red wine production are predominant; and the smaller and newer sub-zone known as La Marina, along the coast in the northern area of the province, where the Moscatel grape variety and white wine production are predominant.
