IL PROGETTODOCCOLLI DELLA SABINAAAIT71970708Denominazione di Origine Controllata

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

A DOC for the olive oil hills of Sabina, where vines are an afterthought. The rules allow Trebbiano and Malvasia whites and Sangiovese and Montepulciano reds, and the few bottles made are light and simple: cherry and dried herbs in the reds, pear and almond in the whites, both with low acid. Very little is bottled under the name; most growers sell grapes or use Lazio IGT.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Colli della Sabina, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
