Italian wines in the art, culture and architectural capital: Rome
Rome, the eternal city, with its vast number of tourists and inhabitants, consumes much of the wine produced in the 3 DOCGs, 26 DOCs and 6 IGTs of Lazio, the region which surrounds it. With about three-quarters of its territory being hilly or mountainous, thus tempering the heat, Lazio is well-suited for viticulture and, although there are no wineries in Rome, Italy’s capital, there are historic wine-making regions for the thirsty wine explorer within easy-striking distance of the capital.
