As the weather turns warm, the more there is the desire for wines that are refreshing, juicy, and easy to drink. That also means a need for alternatives to Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio, the two usual suspects found in wine glasses the world over.
Take Frascati from the Lazio region just outside of Rome. It’s low in alcohol, almost always clocking in under 13.5%. It has gobs of fruit. It’s made in large quantities and is always very enjoyable when a good winemaker is behind the wine. It’s almost also always a great value buy.
That’s the 2017 Poggio le Volpi Frascati Superiore. Golden color. Green apples and pears. Some fresh cut grass and voila, you have an everyday wine that has all you need to drink by itself, by the pool or on the patio, while you watch the sunset. The 2017 Poggio le Volpi Frascati Superiore is also an excellent food wine. Have it with fresh fish or a light creamy risotto. Most of all, just kick back and enjoy a refreshing white wine that won’t break the bank.
That’s why the 2017 Poggio le Volpi Frascati Superiore is today’s WineSiders’ Wine of The Day.
