Civitella d'Agliano
Wine · PGI · 1 municipality
Unlike many expansive regional IGTs in Lazio, the Civitella d'Agliano denomination is confined entirely to a single namesake municipality. Recognized since 1999, this highly localized zone limits maximum yields to 18.0 tonnes per hectare. While standard single-varietal bottles must contain at least 85% of grapes like Grechetto or Sangiovese, the local rules distinguish this terroir by designating Verdello, Procanico, and Aleatico as historically emblematic varieties rather than standard labeling options. Furthermore, the wines must bridge a notable gap: while vines require only 9.0% natural alcohol at harvest, the final bottles must reach higher consumption minimums, topping out at 11.0% for rosso novello.
