If your only exposure to Frascati has been the tepid, metallic versions off of the grocery shelves, you are in for a nice surprise.

Monte Porzio Frascati is straw in color and its aromas of fresh fruit give a burst of fresh fruit on the palette with a lingering almond finish that is clean and harmonious.

The wine is a blend of two grape varietals, Malvasia and Trebbiano, and is bottled in the traditional Estrucan bottle for over 750 years.  

It goes with dishes of pasta and risotto, fresh cheeses or seasoned type precorino cheese. Also with fish white meats and fish.

The grapes were crushed, pressed and the juice was cold settled. The wine was all fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature to preserve the fruit aromas. After fermentation, the wine was allowed to settle in the tanks over the Winter before blending and filtration.

This Riesling displays wonderful characteristics of steely acidic backbone, floral elements and pear/apple notes. The full-mouth feel of this wine makes it perfect for BBQ foods and serves well as an afternoon sipping wine.
