Province of Viterbo

Bordering Tuscany in central Italy, this Lazio province of over 300,000 residents boasts a volcanic terroir that sets its gastronomy apart from any neighbor. Across its 60 municipalities, Viterbo claims 28 protected denominations, stewarded by 9 verified producers. What truly distinguishes this land is its hyper-local liquid heritage: the legendary, white Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone DOC born near Lake Bolsena's rim, and the rare, aromatic red Aleatico di Gradoli DOC. From sandy volcanic slopes to chestnut forests, Viterbo curates a singular, high-contrast palate unmatched in the Italian peninsula.
