The wine region of Frascati

Lazio DOC in the Castelli Romani south-east of Rome, well-drained volcanic soils. Malvasia di Candia and Malvasia del Lazio signature (70% min), backed by Trebbiano and Greco. Signature fresh and floral whites with notes of white apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, sweet almond and a volcanic mineral touch, taut and refreshing palate — the Roman aperitif, from the popes to Dolce Vita. Denser Superiore version (DOCG).


The wine region of Lazio

Two-millennia Roman vineyard, predominantly white on the volcanic soils of the Castelli Romani. Frascati DOC as figurehead: fresh, accessible whites based on Malvasia and Trebbiano, notes of green apple, white flowers and almond, slightly bitter finish. Also Bellone and Grechetto. Emblematic red: Cesanese del Piglio DOCG, fleshy with notes of ripe cherry, dry herbs and spice, round tannins.

The word of the wine: Solera

A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
