Aprilia DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
One of Italy's oldest DOCs and one of its least used, covering flat, reclaimed marshland settled in the 1930s. The rules only allow varietal Merlot, Sangiovese and Trebbiano, so the wines are simple: soft, plummy Merlot, light Sangiovese, neutral Trebbiano. The area's best estate, Casale del Giglio, ignores the DOC entirely and bottles under Lazio IGT, which tells you most of what you need to know.

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.
If you make Aprilia, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
