Cannellino di Frascati
Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities
Unlike its dry counterparts in the Roman hills, Cannellino di Frascati DOCG is exclusively dedicated to a single tipologia: a sweet, late-harvest white wine containing at least 35 grams per liter of residual sugar. Crafted by 33 verified producers across five Lazio municipalities, including Grottaferrata, this wine relies on a minimum of 70% Malvasia bianca di Candia or Malvasia del Lazio. To preserve its delicate, fruity profile, production rules strictly forbid enrichment of the must, ensuring that the minimum 12.5% alcohol volume and intense straw-yellow color derive entirely from naturally overripe grapes harvested at a maximum yield of 11.0 tons per hectare.
