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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCrafted from 100% Merlot in Italy’s Lazio region, Kron is a rich and elegant red that combines ripe berry fruit with layers of spice and tobacco. Deep ruby in colour, it offers aromas of blackberries, forest fruits and subtle oak notes, leading to a full-bodied palate with soft, velvety tannins and impressive length. Smooth, warming and beautifully balanced, this mature Italian Merlot is an excellent partner for roast meats, hearty pasta dishes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fontana Candida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44083350503498,"sku":"I5438901171","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2140\/3211\/files\/Screenshot2026-08-18151345_edb321bf-f5dc-4001-86b8-15bd8a624031.png?v=1787062500","url":"https:\/\/thevineking.com\/products\/2017-fontana-candida-kron-merlot","provider":"The Vineking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
