Colli Lanuvini
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Established in 1973, the Colli Lanuvini DOC spans just two Lazio municipalities, Genzano di Roma and Lanuvio. While neighbouring denominations rely heavily on Malvasia, this appellation distinguishes its white wines by requiring a minimum of 30% Trebbiano, utilizing a specific blend of the Toscano, Verde, and Giallo varieties. The regulations also set a precise standard for red blends, which must contain at least 50% Merlot. Unlike the Superior whites and reds, only the Rosso Riserva has a mandatory aging requirement, which dictates 24 months of total aging with at least six months resting in the bottle.
