Fontana Candida

Lazio whites from Frascati's indigenous varieties and volcanic terroir.

Fontana Candida produces white wines from Lazio, the region surrounding Rome. The winery focuses on the indigenous varieties of Frascati, a historic appellation known for crisp, mineral-driven whites. Terre Dei Grifi Frascati Superiore blends Malvasia Nera, Malvasia, Trebbiano, and Greco into a structured expression of the denomination. Malvasia Puntinata Roma showcases the aromatic potential of its namesake variety, while Frascati Superiore Vigneto Santa Teresa isolates Greco to reveal the grape's characteristic finesse. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. Lazio's volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate shape whites of notable acidity and salinity—wines built for food rather than display.
