Cerveteri
Wine · PDO · 8 municipalities
Established in 1976 across eight Lazio municipalities including Ladispoli and Allumiere, the Cerveteri DOC represents a wine-growing zone with currently zero verified producers. What distinguishes this denomination from neighboring Lazio appellations is the rigid composition rule for its red wines: a combined minimum of 60% Sangiovese and Montepulciano is mandatory, with a strict requirement that neither grape falls below 25% individually in the final blend. For white wines, the appellation mandates at least 50% Trebbiano Toscano, locally called Procanico, yielding dry, harmonic wines with a maximum field yield of 14.0 tonnes per hectare and a maximum wine-conversion limit of 70%.
