Atina
Wine · PDO · 12 municipalities
Recognised since 2004, the Atina DOC in Lazio departs from regional norms by mandating a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon for its red wines. Across 12 municipalities, including Alvito and Casalattico, 18 verified producers must adhere to a strict recipe requiring at least 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside minimum 10% thresholds for Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. This specific composition distinguishes Atina from neighboring denominations. The denomination's Cabernet varietal further restricts production, capping maximum yields at 8 tonnes per hectare to limit output to 56 hectolitres, delivering harmonious, dry, full wines with a sometimes herbaceous flavor profile.
