Description of product typologies
Cannellino di Frascati PDO is intense golden yellow; the nose displays typical fragrances of ripe fruit, in particular peach, apricot, pear and apple, with hints of honey that accentuate the wine’s semi-sweet personality; the attack is smooth on the palate, with a moderately tart evolution, a slightly bitter finish, excellent balance and a smooth flavour. Grapes destined for the production of Cannellino di Frascati Protected Designation of Origin wine must ensure a minimum natural alcohol level of 12% vol. Vinification must take place within the production area of the grapes; however, taking into consideration local needs linked to urbanisation and the safeguarding of existing local traditions, vinification may also take place in parts of the municipality of Montecompatri.
