If you find a wine from Lazio, there's a good chance it's gonna be industrial Frascati. There's just not a ton of interesting wine exported from the region around Rome, but things are changing and many wineries are upping their game. Casale Certosa makes one of the best Lazio wines we've ever tasted, a fresh and aromatic Malvasia Puntinata. There are many grapes that go by the Malvasia moniker; the Puntinata variety of Malvasia is unique to the hills of the Castelli Romani, where Casale Certosa tends its biodynamic vineyards. With notes of fresh fruits, flowers, herbs and spice, next to a delectable smoky nuance, this wines shows much of the sweet and spicy aromatic character associated with Malvasia, but it keeps crisp and lively, finishing dry with delicate pithy, herbal and mineral notes. Try this with light curries, or a white pizza with herbs, greens, ricotta and a bit of earthy blue cheese.
