Cesanese di Olevano Romano
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Established in 1976 within the Lazio region, the Cesanese di Olevano Romano DOC is defined by its strict geographical limit to just two municipalities: Genazzano and Olevano Romano. While neighbouring appellations focus primarily on dry red profiles, this denomination carves out a distinct identity through its highly specified sweet variants. Its disciplinare permits an Amabile style with 18 to 30 grams per liter of residual sugar, alongside a Dolce or sparkling Dolce Frizzante containing at least 45 grams per liter. Whether crafted dry or sweet, all versions must rely on a minimum of 85 percent Cesanese di Affile or Cesanese comune grapes, delivering a characteristic delicate aroma.
