Frascati

Perched on the volcanic slopes of the Castelli Romani hills overlooking metropolitan Rome, the municipality of Frascati channels its unique terroir into world-renowned viticulture. This distinctive environment, shaped by ancient craters, serves as the cradle for the sweet Cannellino di Frascati DOCG, a dessert wine produced within a tight zone of just five municipalities. The local wine landscape is anchored by 13 verified producers, with 6 open for visits, allowing travelers to taste history directly from the cellar. Here, volcanic mineral soils elevate native white grapes, defining a legacy that spans centuries of Roman winemaking.
