The Lazio IGT "Kron" by Fontana Candida is a wine that testifies to the innovation and search for quality that characterize this historic Lazio winery, known for the production of wines that reflect the authenticity and richness of the territory. "Kron" represents an emblematic example of how Fontana Candida is able to interpret native and international vines in a modern key, offering a product of great character and pleasure.

This IGT wine is the result of a careful selection of grapes, which can vary from vintage to vintage based on the oenological choices, aiming to create a harmonious and distinctive blend. "Kron" stands out for its complex structure and its intense aromatic profile, characteristics that make it a versatile wine and suitable for multiple drinking occasions.

Visually, the wine presents itself with an intense and deep color. On the nose, it offers a rich and varied bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and a light toasting, the result of aging in wood which adds complexity without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

In the mouth, "Kron" reveals a remarkable balance between acidity and structure, with soft and well-integrated tannins leading to a long and persistent finish. Its aromatic richness makes it suitable to accompany dishes of a certain intensity, such as red meats, game and mature cheeses, but also more delicate dishes that can benefit from its distinctive character.

With the Lazio IGT "Kron", Fontana Candida once again demonstrates its ability to express the variety and complexity of the Lazio region through wine, offering a product that combines tradition and innovation, and which is also able to satisfy the palates more demanding.
