Frascati DOC
Frascati DOC is a Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine appellation in the Lazio region of Italy. The region is renowned for its white wines, which are primarily produced from the Malvasia and Trebbiano grape varieties.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of wine production in the Frascati region dates back to the Roman Empire. The region's volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate have made it an ideal location for viticulture. The Frascati DOC was established in 1966, making it one of the first DOCs in Italy.
Production[edit | edit source]
Frascati DOC wines are typically dry, with a light to medium body and a crisp acidity. They are known for their floral and citrus aromas, with notes of almond and herbs. The wines are typically consumed young, although some producers also make a late-harvest version, known as Frascati Superiore DOCG, which can be aged for several years.
The production of Frascati DOC wines is regulated by strict guidelines. The wines must be made from a blend of Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, with a minimum of 70% of the blend coming from these two varieties. Other permitted grape varieties include Bombino bianco, Greco, and Bellone.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
The Frascati DOC region is located in the hills surrounding the town of Frascati, which is situated to the southeast of Rome. The region's volcanic soil, combined with its Mediterranean climate, provides ideal conditions for the cultivation of the Malvasia and Trebbiano grape varieties.
Food Pairing[edit | edit source]
Frascati DOC wines are versatile and can be paired with a wide range of dishes. They are particularly well-suited to seafood and poultry dishes, as well as pasta with light sauces. The wines' crisp acidity also makes them a good match for fried foods and antipasti.
