Aromatic Intrigue:

As you raise the glass to your nose, a lively bouquet unfolds, inviting you to delve deeper.  Invigorating citrus blossoms intertwine with the sweetness of white peach, accented by subtle mineral notes. Hints of fresh herbs, like rosemary or thyme, add a touch of complexity, while a whisper of almond adds an intriguing layer.

A Burst of Flavour on the Palate:

The first sip of Botter Frascati Rione is a burst of refreshing citrus flavours. Zesty lemon, tangy lime, and a touch of grapefruit dance on the tongue. Balanced beautifully by crisp acidity, the fruit notes linger, leaving a delightful sensation. A characteristic saline minerality, reminiscent of the wine's volcanic soil origins, emerges on the finish, adding depth and intrigue.
