Vintage Cellar Review: This Frascati, made
from grapes grown in volcanic soils near Rome and cold filtered, is a pale straw
gold. On the nose it offers light-as-a-zephyr lemon and a hint of grass. On the
tongue it is ultra crisp and delightfully flinty, its lemon and clementine
flavors as smooth as old silk. At the end of a nice clean finish a dab of ripe
pear takes a bow.
My Review: This wine had a lighter color to it and a fruity aroma about it. I was left with a sharp after taste, but it was pleasant without being too much. I also sensed a hint of apple flavor. I enjoyed this wine and would drink it again!
