Cannellino di Frascati DOCG
The traditional sweet version of Frascati, made from late harvested or lightly dried Malvasia. It is gentle rather than unctuous: apricot, candied citrus, honey, chamomile and a touch of Malvasia's grapey musk, with soft acid and a clean finish. Romans drink it with biscotti and ciambelline. Production is small and it rarely leaves Lazio.
