What grows here
Arcinazzo Romano
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Lazio countryside, within the Metropolitan City of Rome, Arcinazzo Romano cultivates a distinct viticultural identity. This small municipality is central to the production of Cesanese di Affile DOC wine, a denomination exclusive to just 3 municipalities. The specific microclimate and soil composition, shaped by its Apennine foothills location, impart unique characteristics to the native Cesanese grape, yielding wines of particular structure and aroma. Beyond this local gem, Arcinazzo Romano contributes to 11 other protected food and wine denominations, totaling 12, reflecting the diverse agricultural heritage sustained by the region's varied terrain.
