Colli Cimini

Wine · PGI · 14 municipalities

Established in 1999, the Colli Cimini IGT spans 14 Lazio municipalities, including Caprarola and Corchiano. This denomination is distinguished from its regional peers by having the widest style range in its class, featuring frizzante, novello, late-harvest, and passito versions. To regulate this diverse wine production, maximum agricultural yields are heavily differentiated: standard white wines permit up to 21.0 tonnes per hectare, while sweet passito and late-harvest styles drop strictly to 8 tonnes per hectare. The resulting amber-hued passito, requiring a minimum total alcohol of 16.0%, highlights the highly specific technical standards of this multifaceted winemaking zone.
