Tasting - Cantina Villafranca

Name: Cantina Villafranca
Variety: Frascati
Region: Frascati
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95

Winery Review:   Produced from a selection of the best grapes located in the Frascati Doc production area. Made from 45% Malvasia di Candia, 15% Trebbiano Toscano, 25% Malvasia del Lazio, 15% Grechetto (Greco). Intense yellow color with greenish
reflections. Characteristic persistent fresh and fruity aromas.
Excellent as an aperitif and paired with fish, seafood or white
meat

My review:  This wine had a pale green color.  On the nose there were smells of pear and blueberry.  Then the taste was peachy with some hints of apple and oak.  When I tasted it I really enjoyed it and purchased a bottle.  

I tasted this on its own with no food.  


I drank the bottle with a salad I made with hot chicken.  The wine did not complement the food very well.  There seemed to be a lot of heat coming through in the wine.  Luckily some of my guests brought other bottles I could drink from.
