Shop Review: A blend of 60% Malvasia Bianca di Candia, 30% Trebbiano and 10% Malvasia del Lazio. This Frascati, made from grapes grown in volcanic soils near Rome and cold filtered, is a pale straw gold. On the nose it offers a light-as-a-zepher lemon and a hint of grass. On the 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 dap of ripe pear takes a bow.

My Review: Being my first-ever wine at a wine tasting, my descriptors were limited. Smelling the wine, I said it was sweet, maybe acidic grape (if that's a thing). Tasting it, the wine was quite smooth and light. It possibly had a slightly floral taste, and a "woody" aftertaste. Admittedly, I did not get lemon or pear or grass notes that the store did. Confession: the first tasting is kinda hard. 

Tasted without food.
