Principe Pallavicini Frascati Superiore Poggio Verde

Grown at 200 metres above sea level on a volcanic, calcareous clay and sandy soil in the Castelli Romani area of Lazio, south-east of Rome, this Frascati is a blend of 70% Malvasia with Trebbiano and Greco. Pale gold in colour with delicate cream and red apple aromas, it has a gentle, cloud-like texture with contrasting green apple skin and green olive flavours. Dry and subtle with a faintly alluring greengage sweetness.
Producer Information
The Principe Pallavicini winery was established by one of Italy’s oldest noble families. With over 300 years of viticultural experience, the family focuses on the development of the winemaking business in order to produce wines of impeccable quality in the magical, inimitable Lazio terroir. Principe Pallavicini represents the largest, private estate in Frascati. Of the 208 acres of vineyards at their Colonna (Pasolina and Marmorelle) and Cerveteri holdings, 133 acres are dedicated to the cultivation of white varietals for the production of Frascati DOCG. In-depth knowledge of the land has led to identifying the best vineyards, and after careful study and experimentation conducted in the field and in the cellar, these vineyards are producing increasingly more refined and enjoyable wines with their own outstanding personality. The team of agronomist Mauro de Angelis, winemaker Carlo Ferrini and resident winemaker Carlo Roveda controls every aspect of production, from cultivation to bottling. Great efforts are taken to maintain the rich character of each varietal. Careful selection, chilled transportation and tailored vinification techniques ensure that the final wines have the bright, nuanced personality of the varietals that went into them.
