Description

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

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

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 vineyards (100-400 meters) with volcanic soils.

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

The Prima Luna is also wonderfully accessible and widely applicable and also has an original and qualitative origin. A perfect house wine!

Drinking at

Accessible, fruity and mild white wine to drink solo or with drinks. Also nice with salads and light (fish) dishes, such as pasta salad with scampi, stuffed fish soup or mushroom ravioli.

Tasting note

Light yellow wine with a modest scent of apple, pear, peach and white flowers. Nicely juicy and smooth taste with white fruit and mild acids. Elegant, dry finish with light almond nuances.

Shelf life

Keeps well for up to 3 years after harvest.
