Frascati DOC

Lazio's most famous white wine appellation in the Castelli Romani hills southeast of Rome, producing crisp Malvasia and Trebbiano blends with volcanic mineral character. Long associated with Roman trattoria culture and everyday drinking, the region has modernised significantly with quality-focused producers elevating Frascati's profile beyond its bistro reputation.
