Villa Simone Cannellino di Frascati Barrique DOCG 2020

Villa Simone Cannellino di Frascati DOCG – A sweet rarity from the heart of Lazio. Are you looking for a special sweet wine that combines history, craftsmanship, and elegance? Then you will love the Villa Simone Cannellino di Frascati DOCG. This exquisitely sweet dessert wine from Lazio is one of the last of its kind – a true gem, produced today by only a few winemakers with great dedication.

The history of Cannellino stretches back centuries. Originally made from old, low-yielding vines, the grapes were traditionally harvested in late autumn, in November – when they were already slightly raisined but still intact. This late harvest ensured a high concentration of sugar and aromas – the basis for this unique wine, which delights with its opulent, elegant sweetness profile and complex aromatics.

• Color : Radiant golden yellow
• Bouquet : Ripe yellow fruits, honey, dried apricots, nuts
• Taste : Opulently sweet, very elegant, creamy with a long finish

A dessert wine with character

The Cannellino from Villa Simone is made from a classic blend of grape varieties: Malvasia di Candia, complemented by Malvasia del Lazio – both cultivated on volcanic soils, around 400 meters above sea level.

The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted in small crates, and pressed whole. The must has a sugar content of over 330 g/l – a feat achievable only in the best vintages. Fermentation takes place in barriques and stops naturally at around 14% alcohol by volume. The wine then matures for at least 12 months in wooden barrels before undergoing a further 6 months of bottle aging in a natural grotto.

Aromatic depth meets stylish sweetness

The Villa Simone Cannellino is a wine for special moments – a “Vino da meditazione,” as they say in Italy. It shines with a bright golden yellow hue and seduces with intense aromas of ripe stone fruit, honey, candied citrus, and roasted nuts. On the palate, it is creamy and sweet, but never heavy – always with elegant freshness and a delicate finish.
