2017 Fontana Candida Kron Merlot

Fontana Candida has been emblematic of quality Lazio winemaking for generations, working vineyards on the volcanic slopes of the Alban Hills where deep mineral-rich soils and good drainage foster aromatic intensity and structure. The Mediterranean climate — warm days tempered by cooling coastal winds — ensures balanced ripening and freshness, particularly for Frascati and other indigenous varieties. In the cellar, the winery blends tradition with precision, using temperature-controlled fermentation and measured oak to preserve purity. Fontana Candida’s wines are vibrant, mineral-accented and nicely poised, showcasing the nuanced expression of Lazio’s volcanic terroir.
