  Faintly over ripe peach combines with apricot and a light beeswax tone initially on the nose. A spin in the glass shows some tufa with hints of canned tangerine and wild clover.
  
  Ripe and soft on the palate, this wine is fresh and silky with notes of peaches and custard. A bit of beeswax and wild clover combine with an interesting buttery quality and a lightly bitter tufa undertone. Interesting, soft, and pleasant, this wine has a very delicate acidity and a faint undertone of mixed melon that lingers on the finish. A very solid example of Frascati.

  Bright & clear color. Subtle nose of green grass & very slight green, honeydew melon. Agressive green melon with herbal, grass elements. Finishes with a flash of chalk. Refreshing & nice! Really good value for the money.
