Tasting - Cantina Villafranca Frascati





Name: Cantina Villafranca Frascati
Variety:  45% Malvasia di Candia, 15% Trebbiano Toscano, 25% Malvasia del Lazio, 15% Grechetto (Greco)
Region: Frascati
Country: Italy
Year: N/A

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 aperitif and paired with fish, seafood or white meat.

My Review: This wine is really pale in color, almost clear. There was Granny Smith apple on the nose with a little hint of fresh cut grass. On the palette there was more apple and pear, it was a bit dry and the finish was a little strong. Overall thumbs up but nothing exciting.
