The eponymous Romaine lettuce originates in this region and delights mouths across the world. For years, Lazio had no wines of DOCG status, but in 2008, Italy elevated wines made from the Cesanese grape in the Piglio region to DOCG (Cesanese di Piglio DOCG). This is still the only DOCG for red wines in Lazio. The most famous wine to come from this region is easily Frascati, a simple white wine made from Malvasia Bianca. In late 2011, Italy bestowed the honor of DOCG status on two wines from the Frascati region.
