TERRITORY OF ORIGIN
Where ancient history meets modern trends and thinking, that is Fontana Candida, a byword for the most authentic and refined expression of winemaking tradition in Lazio and Rome. Age-old elegance combines with energy, poetry and vitality. Some of the world’s most famous and popular wines, most famously Frascati, hail from this area of endless culture and leisure.
GRAPE VARIETIES
Malvasia Bianca di Candia, Trebbiano.
PRODUCTION DISTRICT
Vineyards in the hills of the DOC subzone around Frascati, Monteporzio Catone, and Grottaferrata, as well as some from Montecompatri and Rome.
TYPE OF SOIL
Soils of volcanic origin.
TRAINING SYSTEM
High-trained, guyot and spurred cordon.
HARVEST
From mid-September onwards.
WINEMAKING METHOD
The grapes are immediately sent to the cellar, where they are fermented off the skins, after soft crushing. The first-pressing must is cold settled and ferments at controlled temperature with inoculated yeasts. Before bottling, the new wine softens out in temperature controlled stainless steel vats with a nitrogen purge to protect against oxidation.
