Tasting-Frascati Superiore Volpetti

Name:Frascati Superiore Volpetti
Variety: 50% Malvasta, 40% Trebbiano, 10% Greco
Region: Roma, Italy Siema Wines
Country: Italy
Year:2009
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: "Vinification at controlled temperatures from grapes that are all traditional to the Frascati area. Straw yellow in color with a soft, delicate perfume, fruitful flavor, dry and harmonious taste. Perfect with appetizers, soups, fish" (Siema Wines)

My Review: Initial aromas and smells would indicate that this wine would posses a variety of sweet and delectable fruity flavors.  However, this wine was exceptionally dry and almost had a burning/hot after taste.  I had this wine prior to dinner, but perhaps the flavors would open up if I paired it with grilled salmon or a warm soup.  Not my favorite white wine, but could be appealing for those that enjoy a more dry white wine.
