Frascati Superiore d.o.c. “Selezione Verde”
Among the production of white wines obviously the Frascati has the most important place and this company produces it in different typologies. The “selezione werde” has been awarded of different prizes.
This noble wine is produced with the classical vineyards of this area (Malvasia di Candia 70% and Malvasia del Lazio 20%, enriched with Greco, Grechetto, Bombino and Trebbiano giallo – 10%).
Its scent is wide, complex, like flowers, its taste dry and elegant, soft with a long persistence and very talented.
This wine is obtained with vineyards at high density cultivated with the “cordone speronato” method and whose production does not exceed the 70%.
The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September, the peel is macerated and wine is refined in a four-month period.

Bianco Lazio i.g.t. “Casa Romana”
This is an extraordinary wine produced in limited quantity. It is characterized by an incredible aroma conferred by a well balanced blend of Chardonnay Musquat and Malvasia del Lazio respectively in the proportion of 70% and 30%.
Thanks to the soft pressing, the appropriate maturation and to a short period in barriques “Casa Romana” it has a pale yellow colour with golden nuances, an intense scent with exotic fruits notes and a full and pleasant taste.

Rosso Riserva
It is the most important product among the wines Principe Pallavicini and it is obtained with Montepulciano (30%), Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Ciliegiolo (20%) vineyards whose production does not exceed the 50-60 hundred tonnes per hectare. Vineyards and rows are cultivated paying great attention to the surrounding environment thanks to hand intervention on the vegetation and the harvest taking place through the selection of grapes. The vinification with the technique of the “delastage”, one year in a French oak barrel, refining in bottle stored in the caves create a wine with a wide and flavoured scent, like wild fruits and vanilla, with an elegant, full and persistent taste.
