Frascati
This white blend coming from Lazio, the region containing Rome in central Italy, is made with Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes, along with other varietals. It is usually low alcohol and quite fragrant, making it a very pleasant and drinkable wine. The wine is named after the town of Frascati, located just southeast of the city of Rome. Archeological discoveries have found that grapes were grown for wine production in this area as far back as the 5th century BCE. The tradition is very much still alive with Frascati being one of the most well-known wines produced in the region of Lazio.

Tasting notes
Frascati is known to have a palate of citrus notes, most notably lemon paired with prominent minerality, including hints of flint. While Frascati is produced in both dry and sweet versions, we recommend finding a dry Frascati to pair with your pistachio pesto as it will really complement the savoury nature of pistachios.
