Malvasia in the volcanic hills near Rome

Cannellino brings a fruity white-wine expression to the northern slopes of the Alban Hills.

Malvasia Bianca di Candia and Malvasia del Lazio lead Cannellino di Frascati’s grape base. The wine’s setting lies on the northern side of the Alban Hills, whose soils developed from volcanic formations. The specification describes an intense straw-yellow color and a fruity flavor, giving this named white wine a distinct place within the Frascati landscape.

The sweetness requirement

The specification requires at least 35 grams per liter of residual reducing sugars. This is a legal minimum, rather than the exact sugar content of every bottle.

The northern Alban Hills

The delimited area lies in Lazio, in Rome province, on the slopes and foothills of the northern Alban Hills.
