Tasting - Fontana Candida Frascati

Winery 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: It starts out with a very fruity and syrupy smell. It has a very smooth taste. It is good for easy drinking. The most flavor I got out of it was green grapes from a grocery store put into a liquid form. It finishes clean.
