Monte Porzio Catone

15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Perched in Rome's metropolitan shadow, Monte Porzio Catone thrives on tufa-rich volcanic soils. This elevated territory is one of only five municipalities permitted to produce the golden Cannellino di Frascati DOCG and the refined Frascati Superiore DOCG. These white wines capture the intense minerality of the Alban Hills, crafted by 13 verified producers based within the municipal boundaries. Today, 1 of these active estates welcomes visitors, providing a direct connection to the ancient viticultural heritage that has supplied the nearby capital for millennia.
