A Tulip Shaped glass is the best choice for dry white wines.
It guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides, where acidity is less pleasant.
A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold.
Remember to hold the glass by the stem!
Frascati is made both dry and sweet, both still and sparkling.
The dry wines are labeled Novello, Superiore, or Novello Superiore.
They are made from minimum 50% Malvasia grapes, and up to 50% of other grapes like Greco, Trebbiano, Bellone, or Bombino.
Malvasia grapes add citrus. Trebbiano grapes add floral notes and acidity.
Some wines are acidic, some are floral, while others are fruity, depending on the grapes used.
Alcohol can be addictive. Drink in moderation.
