Lazio is made up of 5 provinces; Frosinone, Latina, Rieti, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, and Viterbo. The ancient region of Lazio began cultivating vines before the birth of Rome in 753 BC. The first record of winemaking was by the Etruscans, who were also the first inhabitants of the region around 600BC.
