Terracina
Wine · PDO · 3 municipalities
Recognised since 2009, the Terracina DOC defines a highly specialized viticultural zone on the western slopes of the Monti Ausoni, spanning only the municipalities of Monte San Biagio, Sonnino, and Terracina. The denomination's identity centers on the aromatic Moscato di Terracina grape. While standard still versions require a minimum of 85% of this native variety, the appellation distinguishes itself through its rigorous spumante rules. For these sparkling wines, the traditional 15% allowance for other white grapes is entirely eliminated, mandating a 100% pure Moscato di Terracina base. This uncompromising varietal requirement ensures that the territory's sparkling expressions offer an unadulterated aromatic profile.
