2002 Villa Simone (di Piero Costantini) Frascati Superiore. I whipped up some fettucine alla carbonara tonight, and that meant only one word -- Frascati. This particular wine is a blend of malvasia, trebbiano, and greco (or clones thereof). It's an uncomplicated wine that's damn near gulpable. It sees no oak. The nose is flinty, talc-like, floral, almonds, and citrus oil. The flavors in the mouth are ripe lemons and grapefruit with competing tropical fruits. There's a zesty kick to the finish. And it's a great partner to carbonara!
