CANNELLINO
DI FRASCATI DOCG
Cannellino is the traditional sweet version of Frascati which inspired Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli to write the famous lines: “it is good dry, sweet and round-flavoured / by itself and with bread and soup, and that is the truth / it is good for the stomach and for the brain”.
Typical and popular version of the Frascati wine, the Cannellino represents an excellence of tradition.
The quality of the grapes, harvested late and ripe, and the particular fermentation method, result in a wine of natural and moderate sweetness which makes a suitable match for the typical dry pastries.
Grapes: malvasia bianca di Candia, trebbiano toscano and malvasia del Lazio.
Vineyard: selected parcels, facing southwest on hills at 200-400 metres altitude, in the commune of Monteporzio Catone; the soil, of volcanic origin, is rich in potassium, phosphorus and microelements, loose and porous, dry but not barren: typical pozzolana – known locally as “terrinella”, particularly beneficial for vine growing, the training systems are the Guyot and the cordone speronato.
Vinification: the fully ripe bunches are picked at the end of October, early in the morning, and are immediately transported to the cellars, where they are gently pressed. The skins undergo a short, cold maceration (10-12 hours at 10°C) in the must, which enriches the aromas and improves the structure. The young must is then cleaned by cold settling (36 hours at 7-8°C) and ferments at a controlled temperature (14-16°C,) with selected yeasts. The process is stopped when there remain 45-50 grams/litre residual sugar. The new wine stays in stainless steel tanks until February – to keep intact the fragrance of the original aromas of the grapes – when it is cold, sterile bottled.
Wine: intense, bright, pale yellow colour; deep, enticing bouquet of considerable finesse with strong fruit notes (apples and ripe pears) and distinct touches of acacia flowers and of aromatic musk; sweet flavour, soft and elegant, fresh and lively, pleasantly fruity, with an attractive, lingering aftertaste of honey and sweet almonds.
Analytical details: 11,00% alcohol; 5 g/l total acidity; 3,35 pH; 60 g/l sugar; 24g/l extract.
Optimum keeping: one-two years in bottles stored horizontally in cool, dark conditions.
