| Colli
di Catone was established in 1974 and is entirely managed by Antonio
Pulcini. The vineyards are located in
“Castelli Romani”, in the Frascati production area, just south of Rome.
Antonio Pulcini is
committed
to growing his grapes without the use of artificial
fertilizers, herbicides or
pesticides. Name of Wine: In an old Roman dialect, a fanello was a callow youth – too old to be a child, yet not sophisticated enough for adulthood either. Uncertified Organic Wine (Producer states they do not use artificial fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. While we cannot prove the veracity of this, we also have no reason to believe it is not true.) Tasting Notes: Bright, fresh and clean bursting with aromas and flavors of newly picked dark cherries, blackberries and other red-berry fruits. Perfect for pasta, red meats and vegetables, mushrooms, truffles, and cheeses. |
