Aprilia
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Established in 1973, the Aprilia DOC spans four Lazio municipalities including Aprilia and Nettuno, yet currently records zero verified producers. This dormant status belies a highly specific regulation for Rosso di Aprilia. Unlike generic regional reds, this blend mandates a backbone of at least 50% Sangiovese, uniquely complemented by compulsory additions of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot at a minimum of 5% each. Vineyards for this dry red are restricted to a maximum yield of 14.0 tonnes per hectare, ensuring a minimum natural alcohol of 11.0% volume. The finished wine develops intense aromas of ripe fruit and characteristic garnet reflections during aging.
