Tasting- "Fontana Candida Frascati"

Name: Fontana Candida Frascati
Variety: 60% Malvasia Bianca di Candia, 30% Trebbiano and 10% Malvasia del Lazio
Region: Frascati
Country: Italy
Year:
Price: $5.95

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: This wine was a white wine and tasted very sweet and fruity at first. It then had a very bitter and nasty after taste. It also smelled a little bit like champagne but did not taste that good.
