3 Wines you must try in Rome
One of Rome's greatest draws is the food. With authentic pasta dishes, fresh pizza and high quality seafood, the food in Rome has to be tasted to be believed. However, there is no better accompaniment to a meal than a fine glass of wine, so if you are travelling to the Italian capital, here are three wines that you must try during your time there.
1. Frascati wine
If you are fan of dry white wine or sweet wines, then Frascati is for you. One of Rome's most popular wines, especially the dry table wine, Frascati is part of the city's cultural heritage and a major pillar in the region's economy. Made with a variety of grapes, Frascati wine is the one you are 
most likely to come across during your time in the city and is highly recommended as it is beloved by the locals.
2. Cesanese wine
Made in the southern region of Frosinone e Zagarolo, Cesanese wine is very popular with the local food of the Lazio area ( where Rome is situated). A popular red wine, and actually known as 'the king of wines', Cesanese wine is best served with tomato based dishes or spicy food.
3. Est! Est! Est!
Made with the grapes of Trebbiano Toscano e Malvasia, Est! Est! Est! Wine is famed for coming from the Montefiascone region, which is just north of Rome. A white wine, Est! Est! Est! is know for its sweet flavours, fruity taste and for being drunk with appetizers.
The wine is known as Est! Est! Est! as during the coronation of Henry V in the 1100s, the inns put Est! on their doors to symbolise the quality of their wines. One punter reportedly enjoyed one particular wine at one bar so much, he wrote “Est! Est! Est!” on the door, making it extremely popular with the locals.
