Fontana Candida - Frescati

Name: Fontana Candida 
Variety: Frescati 
Region: Near Rome (Piedmont)
Country: Italy
Price: $11.00 -> $6.95

Winery Review: The grape 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. Prairs well with salads, pasta, veal, chicken, vegetable soups, mild seafood dishes and mild cheeses.

My Review: On the nose I could smell many fruits and earthy tones. I got some melon when I swirled the wine. I could tastes lots of plum on the palate and it was kind of vegetably as well. I liked this wine, because it was sweet, but not to sweet. And it was not dry.
