Winemaker Notes
Bright, light yellow. Expressive citrus and melon notes, along with hints of tropical fruit. Citrus, white orchard fruit, and a hint of melon and herbs. A medium body, high saline acidity and a lightly bitter-almond finish.
Pair with sea foods, salty dishes, like tacos or dishes made with sardines, sharp cheeses, dishes with fresh tomatoes and any light fare. A perfect wine for a luncheon or outdoor dinner.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Known as the ancient homeland of the Latins, today there is a vigorus wine industry beyond the city limits of modern, bustling Rome. The Cesanese grape, full of red berry, spice and rose, is responsible for Lazio’s only true local reds. Lazio’s most famous white wine, called Frascati, is based on the local Malvasia del Lazio and Trebbiano Toscana. A sweet version, called Cannellino di Frascati, is also made.
