What grows here
Roiate
12 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched within the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Roiate, with its 638 inhabitants, represents a crucial pocket of terroir. This small commune’s unique geological and climatic conditions, distinct from the immediate Roman plains, foster an environment where exceptional produce thrives. It is here that the highly localized Cesanese di Affile DOC wine finds its most authentic expression, sharing its designation with only two other municipalities. Overall, Roiate contributes to an impressive 12 protected denominations, including the broader regional excellence of Roma DOC wines and Olio di Roma IGP. This concentration of specific origins underscores Roiate's essential role in safeguarding Italy's renowned gastronomic heritage.
