One of the most important territories among those that have made the history of Italian wine, thanks to wines such as Frascati, and which, in total, boasts two DOCGs (Frascati Superiore and Cannellino) and seven DOCs (Frascati, Castelli Romani, Marino, Velletri, Colli Albani, Colli Lanuvini and Monte Compatri-Colonna) demonstrating a centuries-old tradition that has been able to innovate, but with an identity that has remained firm: this is the identikit of the Castelli Romani, which have been designated “Italian Wine City 2025” by the National Association of Wine Cities, with an announcement today in Rome. The Castelli Romani succeed Barolo, Duino Aurisina, Menfi, Alto Piemonte and Gran Monferrato (European Wine City, in collaboration with Recevin).

For a whole year, the 11 municipalities involved led by their respective mayors who strongly wanted this charge for 2025, and thus Marino (leader) with Mayor Stefano Cecchi, Nemi (coordinator) with Alberto Bertucci, Ariccia with Gianluca Staccoli, Colonna with Fausto Giuliani, Frascati with Francesca Sbardella, Genzano di Roma with Carlo Zoccolotti, Grottaferrata with Mirko Di Bernardo, Lanuvio with Andrea Volpi, Lariano with Francesco Montecuollo and Monte Porzio Catone with Massimo Pulcini, and Velletri with Mayor Ascanio Cascella, will be the protagonists of cultural and enogastronomic events dedicated to the enhancement of wine culture, with the aim of further promoting the area, strengthening the local wine sector and wine tourism.
