Costa Etrusco Romana

About the wine

The Costa Etrusco Romana IGT covers a coastal and hilly area in the province of Rome, specifically the municipalities of Cerveteri, Ladispoli, Santa Marinella, Fiumicino, and Tolfa. This region has a deep-rooted viticultural history dating back to the Etruscans. The IGT allows for a wide range of wine styles, including white and red blends, as well as varietal wines. White wines are typically based on Malvasia Puntinata and Vermentino, while red wines rely on Montepulciano and Sangiovese, often blended with international varieties like Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The climate is Mediterranean, influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea, with vineyards situated on volcanic and alluvial soils. The disciplinare emphasizes traditional cultivation practices and specific chemical-physical standards for each typology, ensuring the wines reflect the unique terroir of the Roman coast.
