About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Cantine San Marco is based in the San Marco area, on the small hill from which it takes its name. The local volcanic soils are rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, and low in nitrogen.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented at low temperatures in neutral vessels. Vinification and bottling take place at the winery.

Ageing

The wine rests briefly in stainless-steel tanks and is intended to be enjoyed young.

Serving and pairing

Frascati is traditionally served with light Roman appetizers.
