Cave
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cave, a municipality within the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital in Lazio, serves as a distinct origin point for significant Italian culinary traditions. This proximity to Rome, combined with specific local conditions, fosters a remarkable array of products. Here, a total of 12 protected denominations thrive. The hyper-local Genazzano DOC wine, sourced from a zone encompassing just five municipalities, exemplifies this focused heritage. Beyond this unique viticultural offering, Cave also contributes to the wider character of Lazio with denominations like Roma DOC wines, Olio di Roma IGP, and the celebrated Abbacchio Romano IGP. This concentration of both intensely local and broader regional specialties defines Cave’s vital role on the ItalyTasteMap.
