What grows here
Affile
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Nestled in the Pre-Apennine landscape within the province of Roma, Affile is a prime example of specific Italian terroir. This particular microclimate and soil composition are ideal for the viticulture that yields Cesanese di Affile DOC, a unique wine designation confined to just 3 municipalities. The unique conditions here also contribute to a total of 12 protected denominations. Beyond its signature red, the area is significant for Olio di Roma IGP olive oil, testament to a deep-rooted agricultural heritage. This distinct corner of Lazio, with its well-defined local products like Cesanese di Affile, offers a true taste of its Roman hinterland identity, far removed from generic offerings.
