Producer
FEDERICI
In Zagarolo, an ancient village built on a tuff hill, stands the Federici winery. Here, in this historical place, Antonio Federico began to produce wines with regional personality in 1960. To this day the winery is a leader in the production of regional grape varieties such as Malvasia, Trebbiano, Nero Buono or Cesanese. Outside Rome, the wines of the Lazio region are not yet very well known. This is not surprising, as over 60% of these wines are enjoyed locally.
