Lazio
Wine · PGI · 378 municipalities
Recognized since 1999, the expansive Lazio IGT encompasses 378 municipalities, including northern outposts like Accumoli. What distinguishes this broad regional designation from more rigid classifications is its highly flexible labeling protocol: producers can list two or three specific grape varieties on the bottle in descending order of contribution, provided they employ an identical font size. For varietal-labeled wines, a minimum of 85% of the named variety is required. While standard rosso wines under this designation carry a generous maximum yield limit of 20.0 t/ha and a minimum alcohol level of 11.0% vol, the rules accommodate distinct styles ranging from spumante to passito.
