Colli di Catone SANT ANTONIO Frascati Superiore DOC
Description: From one of the best producers, clean, fresh minerally white. This wine is a blend of Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia di Candia, Trebbiano Toscano and a small percentage of Chardonnay. The fruit is from vineyards in cool North-facing sites at 300 – 400 m altitude in Monte Porzio Catone in the classic Frascati production area to the South of Rome. In the vineyard the soil has a volcanic origin rich in potassium, phosphorous and other micro elements. Though quick draining, this type of soil retains sufficient moisture to sustain the vine even in times of drought. The high concentration of minerals in the soil favours the production of top quality fruit. Once in the winery there is a very soft pressing while controlled fermentation of the free run juice is at cool temperatures . Then the wine is left to mature in stainless steel and bottled not before the first week of March following harvest. This has produced a pale straw coloured wine with green tints. Here the clean fruity nose with a steely overtones gives way to a crisp, fresh palate with ripe pear flavours and a clean tangy finish. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £59.88
