Marino
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Established in 1973, the Marino DOC in Lazio covers a territory stretching across four municipalities, including Castel Gandolfo and Roma. What distinguishes this historical white wine from neighboring appellations is the strict regulation of its Classico subzone. While standard Marino vineyards can utilize the traditional overhead tendone canopy, the Classico designation explicitly bans this training method, mandating spalliera trellising with a higher density of at least 3,500 vines per hectare. In the cellar, the blend must feature at least 50% Malvasia bianca di Candia, locally called Malvasia rossa, yielding a delicate, straw-yellow wine with a characteristically bitter aftertaste.
