Nettuno
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Recognized since 1999, the Nettuno DOC in Lazio covers a coastal production zone limited to the municipalities of Nettuno and Anzio. This denomination distinguishes itself by requiring a white blend where both Trebbiano toscano and Bellone—locally known as Cacchione—must each make up at least 30 percent of the grape composition. While the base white wine must reach a minimum alcohol level of 11.0% vol, the appellation enforces strict bottling rules for single-vineyard designations. Any wine carrying a specific "vigna" toponym on the label must be bottled exclusively in containers no larger than 0.75 liters, preventing bulk packaging for its most localized expressions.
