Winery Review: A blend of 60% Malvasia Bianca di Candia, 30% Trebbiano and 10% Malvasia del Lazio. This Frascati, made from grapes grown in volcanic soils near Rome and cold filtered, is a pale straw gold. On the nose it offers light-as-a-zephyr lemon and a hint of grass. On the tongue it is ultra crisp and delightfully flinty, its lemon and clementine flavors as smooth as old silk. At the end of a nice clean finish a dab of ripe pear takes a bow.
My Review: I liked this wine! To me, I smelled pears, instead of tasting them as mentioned above. After the sniff and swirl, my first taste was slightly acidic. Upon the second taste, the wine became fruity smooth, but still was slightly dry. I would drink this wine again. I tasted this wine on its own without food.
