DOC area for white wine in the Italian region of Lazio. The vineyards cover 400 hectares of vines spread over the seven municipalities of Bolsena, Capodimonte, Gradoli, Grotte di Castro, Marta, Montefiascone and San Lorenzo Nuovo in the province of Viterbo. The historic Classico area includes parts of the municipalities of Montefiascone and Bolsena. If the grapes come from classified vineyards, Vigna may be indicated on the label followed by the vineyard name. The unusual name is based on a legend. The Augsburg bishop Johannes Fugger (Joannes de Fuk) was in the retinue of Emperor Henry V (1086-1125) in 1111. A connection to the famous merchant family is uncertain.
