Favorite Frascati DOC

Tuesday August 19, 2008
Frascati is one of the classic Roman white wines, made from vineyards in the Alban Hills overlooking Rome. If you have eaten in a Roman trattoria you may well be familiar with it, because it's commonly set out by the pitcher, and does a fine job of accompanying quickly cooked Roman dishes. You may have found it to be rather simple, and much Frascati is. However, when made with care it is quite graceful, and very pleasant to drink. In shrot, a good selection for a late summer cookout,or (if you're in the US) Labor Day.

I tasted through quite a bit of Frascati at Vinitaly, and here are the wines that impressed me the most.
