The grapes for this dry, clean wine are grown in the porous, volcanic soils located in the Frascati commune near Rome. Rich in potassium, this soil produces plump flavorful grapes. Fontana Candida is the only Frascati producer that uses cold filtration and cold bottling to preserve the wine's flavor and clarity. Pairs well with salads, pastas, veal, chicken, vegetable soups, mild seafood dishes, and mild cheeses.
This wine smelled crisp and clean, but did not have any identifiable aromas. It was tangy at first, but left my mouth feeling very fresh and clean. It hung on to my tongue after I was finished.
