Cantina Villafranca (Frascati)


Name: Cantina Villafranca
Variety: Frascati
Region: Frascati
Country: Italy
Year: ??
Price: $7.95


Winery review: 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 and fruity aromas.  Excellent as an apertif and paird with fish, seafood or white meat.


My review:  Smelled plasticy, citrusy, and had some heat to it.  Tasted bitter and had a strong "white grape" accent to it.  Dry but balanced.



I tasted this on its own without food.
