Wine Makers Notes: "A light, tasty wine with a dry, crisp finish that's built on a zesty citrus backbone."
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.
This easy-to-drink wine pairs well with salads, pasta, veal, chicken, vegetable soups, mild seafood dishes and mild cheeses.

Sniffy Sniff: This wine had a very citrusy, earthy aroma. There was a slight hint of fruit coming through but not sure what fruit it would be maybe it was just the aroma of the grape itself.
Slurppy Slurp: This wine was very dry and acidic, with maybe a slight hint of fruit coming through, but just had the dry earthy citrusy punch to it.
After paring it with some parmesan cheese this wine could show it true colors. It was like the citric acid punch was gone and the fruity grape flavor could come through.
