PRODUCTION DISTRICT
Vineyards in the hills of the DOC subzone around Frascati, Monteporzio Catone, and Grottaferrata, as well as some from Montecompatri and Rome.
ALTITUDE AND ASPECT: 150–400 metres above sea level.
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.
SENSORY PROFILE: Bright straw colour; delicate aromas of spring meadows and fruitiness, dominated by hawthorn and Golden Delicious apple. Soft fruit-forward flavour. Lively, fresh personality. Sophisticated tart, almondy background.
RECOMMENDED CELLARING: 2 years.
FOOD PAIRING: Throughout the meal, especially with pasta and rice dishes, fish and white meats.
