If your only exposure to Frascati has been the tepid, metallic versions off of the grocery shelves, you are in for a nice surprise.

Monte Porzio Frascati is straw in color and its aromas of fresh fruit give a burst of fresh fruit on the palette with a lingering almond finish that is clean and harmonious.

The wine is a blend of two grape varietals, Malvasia and Trebbiano, and is bottled in the traditional Estrucan bottle for over 750 years.  

It goes with dishes of pasta and risotto, fresh cheeses or seasoned type precorino cheese. Also with fish white meats and fish.

 

This wine is produced in eastern Veneto using 100% Pinot Grigio grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning hours of the day. They then go through a soft pressing and are fermented with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 59-64 degrees F. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 3-5 months and then in bottles for another 2-3 months. 

This wine has a strong straw yellow color with an intense aroma and notes of nutmeg, peach, ripened apple and citrus. It has a dry and elegant taste, with strong hints of orange peel. It is remarkably sapid, long and harmonic. 

Pair with veal, shellfish, poultry.

Teroldego is the signature, indigenous red grape of the Trentino-Alto Adige. It’s famous for its deep color, soft fruit and ability to adapt successfully to both modern and traditional aesthetics. Concilio’s Teroldego – from the Braide subzone renowned for varietal – jumps out of the glass with an opaque crimson-purple color and delicious aromas of licorice, violets, blackberries, morel mushrooms and tar. Fleshy and generous, the wine caresses the palate with a deep kernel of licorice-tinged cassis and black cherry fruit accented by soft tannins, tar, and a kiss of oak. Sappy black cherry and blueberry fruit carry through to the wine’s long, lithe finish, which adds notes of leafy sous bois and salty minerals. Everyone who loves a juicy, characterful and food-versatile red wine must try this offering. Enjoy now and over the coming three years with roast pork loin, pan-seared pork chops, roast duck, potatoes au gratin and long-simmered beef stews.
