This tasting was a new experience for me. Went to the Vintage Cellar after class to taste some wines! It if very difficult for a novice taster like myself to fully put the smells and tastes to words. So here is my best attempt.
Name: Cantina Villafranca
Variety: Frascati
Region: Frascati
Region: Frascati
Country: Italy
Year: no year
Price: $7.95
Wine Makers Notes: Produced from a selection of the best grapes located in the Frascati Doc production area. Made from 45% Malvasia di Candia, 15% Trebbiano Toscano, 25% Malvasia del Lazio, 15% Grechetto (Greco). Intense yellow color with greenish reflections. Characteristic persistent fresh fruity aromas. Excellent as an aperitif and paired with fish, seafood or white meat.
Smells Like: apples, melons - honeydew, floral, and a hint of rubber.
Tastes Like: tart, not at all like the smell. there was no fruit flavor in this wine at all. there was a mind to long dry after taste, but the mid pallet seemed smooth.
