Wine Tasting Summer 2020 in Old Frascati

I'm a little bit shy. I don't understand what I'm saying in Korean. It's a cultural association that promotes and collaborates with the local family-run wineries, bakeries, restaurants. And we try to help promote Frascati to a wider audience. And so we're going to tell you about the wines today. The first wine we'll be talking about is the Sparkling Spumante from Pietra Forzia Winery here in Frascati. So, we'll taste it. Let's see what you think. So this is very clear. It has a nice straw yellow, even with some green highlights. And on the nose, it's very fruity. It's a burst of citrus, and again, you get that minerality already on the nose. Remember, Frascati is a volcanic terrain, so all the wines have this strong mineral note. It's very smooth. It's a sparkling wine, but it has a very delicate perlage and a very refreshing, nice clean finish. I would have this with aperitivo, snacks, light finger food. Hello, everybody. I'm Daniela. I'm a tour guide for all Frascati food and wine. And if you have already been here, you probably met me. Otherwise, I hope to see you soon. And I'm here today to introduce you our traditional white dry wine. It is called Frascati Superiore. And this one is produced by our friend Paola Ceccarelli and Antiche Terre Tuscolane. It is a DOCG wine. It's the top level for an Italian wine. And just imagine, this wine is produced with a grape called Malvasia that's been grown here for over 2,000 years. You can see from the color, this is a golden yellow. And you know, since our soil is so rich in minerals, you can actually smell the minerals on the nose. I can smell apple. And this is a special variety of apple called Golden Delicious. And then peach and sunshine, actually. Okay, this is a very refreshing wine. It's perfect for a summer night. Or, you know, with our traditional cuisine, something like pasta cacio e pepe or carbonara. Or even with aged cheese or with fat food. Actually, everything that's fat is perfect. So, I really hope you can try it. And cheers! See you soon! Hello everyone. My name is Max. Maybe we met before. In case we didn't, I'm happy to see you. And I'm here to introduce a new white wine from Frascati. It's called Aura Nova, which means New Aura. And it's made by our friends. It's a group of families that made this wine together. And it's entirely handpicked and handmade. And it's a DOC. It's made with Malvasia grapes and Trebbiano. So, let's try this wine and see how it tastes like. First of all, I want to say that it has 12.5 volume of alcohol. And this is a mineral volcanic wine. It has a nice fruity flavor. I would say acacia flower and a hint of pine nuts as well. And a nice color. Stropel yellow color. Delicious. This is amazing with fish, pasta, pizza. Everything. I hope you like it. Are you painting? Hello, my name is Giovanna. Maybe we met on the tour. I am part of the old Frascati food and wine. And I'm here to introduce you our red wine. Here it is. It is produced in Villaldo Brandini. Maybe if you come on the tour, you remember the beautiful building right on the top. Soon after the steps from the railway station. It is an IGT. Made with a combination of grapes, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. And it is perfect to be drunk with spicy food, meat and pizza. Now let's see our red wine. Nice color. Ruby red. Good. Our Rosso is fruity. We can smell the cherry, the wild cherry. It has body, but it is simply perfect for the summer nights. Because in Italy it is very hot. So we need a good red wine. Not too strong, but not weak. Light, but not weak. Salute. Ciao. Welcome. My name is Paola. Maybe you already know me. During the time when you were in Frascati. Today I am going to present you one of our very good wines. This is a sweet wine. It comes from Pietra Pozia. The name is Regillo. We also call it Cannellino here in Frascati. And it is our sweet wine. But what is special in this wine. You can use this wine for two kinds of food. For the sweet, like a dessert. But also for salty. And it is incredible. With the cheese and honey combination. It is fantastic. But now I am going to use this one. So you can really see when I swirl the wine. The beautiful color. You see, it is really like a honey color. And you really smell honey. You can smell peach, apricot, vanilla. Cheers! And I hope to see you again in Frascati. Fantastic. I hope it comes naturally to me. I have to say that this wine comes naturally to me. I make a mistake. Ok, let's put a little bit. No, let's go over here. Hi! Ciao! I am Paola. I am back again. Now with the olive oil. Extra virgin from Castelli Romani. The name is Fontana Laura. It is our neighborhood. And they produce this incredible olive oil. Why is it incredible? First, because you are going to use it on a fresh salad. On grilled steak. Or fish. Or a mix of vegetables. But also incredible with fresh bread. Crispy with olive oil just on top. And this olive oil is so good. And I tell you, I am going to use it. Not only to put on top of the food. But also it is incredible for your skin. Ok, now I am going to put a... No, let's go over here guys. This is incredible. This is a lot. On my arms. This is incredible. And I tell you why I am going to spread it on my skin. First, because it is really good for your body.
