For fifty years Fontana Candida has been undisputed protagonist of the diffusion and success of Frascati world-wide. Its main mission has always been the enhancement of this denomination, the true wine patrimony of the Roman land, with an enormous quality potential, partly still to be explored.
The freshness and the personality of the wines of Fontana Candida, products of particularly acclaimed vineyards and outstanding expertise, embody very well the life-style and the richness of history and of traditions typical of the area which they belong to, known and enjoyed throughout the world.
Fontana Candida has 25 hectares of vineyards, 13 of which are represented by the Vineyard S.Teresa. The hills where the vineyards are located, at 200 to 400 metres altitude are of a volcanic nature. The soil is characterised by pozzolane, otherwise known as terrinelle; situated at the furthest points from the mouths of the craters, these are formed from volcanic ashes, which produced deep, sandy soil, very water-absorbent, rich in potassium with some phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, iron and microelements and low in nitrogen.
