Colli Etruschi Viterbesi
Wine · PDO · 38 municipalities
Recognized since 2004, the Colli Etruschi Viterbesi DOC spans 38 municipalities in Lazio, including Acquapendente. What sets this denomination apart from its neighbors is its dual labeling option; producers can bottle their wines under either the 'Colli Etruschi Viterbesi' name or as 'Tuscia'. For single-varietals requiring an 85% minimum of the named grape, the strict blending rules unique to this zone explicitly exclude Malvasia di Candia from the whites and Ciliegiolo from the reds. Furthermore, while vinification must occur within the delimited zone, historic exceptions are permitted in Orvieto and Vignanello.
