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.

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.
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.
