Genazzano DOC

A dormant DOC from the Cesanese hills, created in 1992 for blended whites and reds in a zone where every serious grower bottles Cesanese di Olevano Romano or Piglio instead. The rules describe a soft Malvasia and Bellone white and a light Sangiovese and Cesanese red; in practice almost nothing has been declared under the name in years. It exists on paper and in the Italian register more than in bottles.
