Tarquinia
Wine · PDO · 30 municipalities
Established in 2006, the Tarquinia DOC spans 30 municipalities in Lazio, including Allumiere and Anguillara Sabazia. This denomination stands out for an unusual status: despite its formal recognition, it currently has zero verified producers actively bottling under its name. For the white wines, the production rules mandate a base of at least 50 percent Trebbiano toscano and Trebbiano giallo, while explicitly excluding Pinot grigio from the permissible blend. Uniquely, the appellation requires no wood or bottle aging, permitting any future dry, straw-yellow whites or ruby-reds to be released immediately upon achieving their 10.5 percent minimum alcohol content.
