July 15th, 2005 edition of The Daily Sauce: Food and Wine. Visit Our Food and Wine Archive. Faunus Frascati It's the weekend, and whether you're planning to spend Saturday morning antiquing, mowing the lawn or herding the kids around the zoo, get motivated for a busy morning by planning a lazy afternoon on the front porch or patio! When the work's done, settle in and enjoy your reward: a chilled bottle of Poggio Le Volpi Faunus Frascati Superiore. This might be the best summertime drinking wine I've had the pleasure of recommending. It's a fresh blend of Malvasia Bianca del Lazio, Malvasia Bianca di Candia and Bombino grapes. This straw-colored wine is crisp and delicious with refreshing citrus and melon tones smoothed out with mineral hints compliments of the volcanic hills south of Rome. At a sweet $10, it's a great buy, which makes it perfect for entertaining. Toss some shrimp or salmon on the grill, or skip cooking altogether and just pick up a hunk of good bread, some soft cheeses, crisp apples and tangy dried apricots. Or, if the weather heads south, head inside and pair the wine with a creamy pasta; the sunny burst of this fruity Frascati is enough to lighten the stormiest St. Louis summer Saturday. Sauce Pick: 2003 Faunus Frascati Superiore Price: 750 mL bottle for $9.99 Where to get it: Parker's Table, 8137 Maryland, Clayton Info: 314.863.4090 |
