Fontana Candida - Frescati

Name: Fontana Candida
Variety: Frescati
Region: Near Rome (Piedmont)
Country: Italy
Price: $11.00 -> $6.95

Winery Review: The grape 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. Prairs well with salads, pasta, veal, chicken, vegetable soups, mild seafood dishes and mild cheeses.

My Review: This was a very good wine. When I smelled this wine it was a very fruity smell, but it tasted every fruitier. It has a very clean finish, the taste of the wine didn't linger long in your mouth. I can see this wine being paired very well with pasta dishes.
