What grows here
Ciampino
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Located where Rome meets the Alban Hills, Ciampino, once a hamlet of Marino until 1974, benefits from a terroir uniquely suited for viticulture. This historical connection is evident in its primary contribution to the Marino DOC, a wine zone spanning just four municipalities. The specific volcanic soils and microclimate found here also contribute significantly to the wider Castelli Romani DOC wines. In total, Ciampino's geographical attributes support 13 protected denominations, including the broader Olio di Roma IGP and Ricotta Romana DOP. The area's distinct location, shaped by ancient Roman influence and volcanic geology, defines the character of these celebrated local products.
