Tasting - Fontana Candida Frascati Terre dei Grifi
I've never heard of a Fascati wine, but it was wine, and it was $7.95, so I figured why not give it a try. This Frascati wine (honestly, I can't figure out what of the name is the wine maker), is from Italy, of the Frascati region of Italy. Frascatis are made from a medley of Malvasia, Trebbiano, and Greco grapes. Notes given on the 2010 wine have hints of honeysuckle, pear, apples, and light herbal notes. I found it smelled a bit like peanuts and an oil type of flavor, but I definitely picked up on the honeysuckle and flower notes. This was a different type of white, as it wasn't super sweet. Though I didn't try this wine with food, I'm sure it would be good with pastas or other Italian foods.
