Description

Frascati is the most famous appellation of origin in Lazio. The DOC takes its name from the village of the same name east of Rome – where, incidentally, the majority of the production is consumed.

Wine has been made in Frascati since 5000 BC. The star grape of the region is the white Malvasia Bianca di Candia. This grape is a cross between Muscat d'Alexandrie and Schiava Grossa and lends a seductive aroma to the wine.

Frascati produces both complex, cellar-worthy white wines and deliciously smooth, affordable varieties, such as this Prima Luna. It is made from Malvasia di Candia, supplemented with Trebbiano. The grapes are harvested in higher-altitude vineyards (100-400 meters) with volcanic soils.

Once harvested, classic white wine vinification follows in the cellar: after gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This method yields a mild, fruity white wine with notes of pear, peach, and flowers.

The Prima Luna is therefore delightfully accessible and versatile, and also boasts an original and high-quality origin. A perfect house wine!

Drinks with

Accessible, fruity, and mild white wine to drink on its own or with appetizers. Also lovely with salads and light (fish) dishes, such as pasta salad with scampi, hearty fish soup, or mushroom ravioli.

Tasting note

Light yellow wine with a modest aroma of apple, pear, peach, and white flowers. Beautifully juicy and smooth on the palate with white fruit and mild acidity. Elegant, dry finish with light almond nuances.

Shelf life

Keeps well for up to 3 years after harvest.
