Malvasia is semi-aromatic varietal encompassing a vast family of grapes with a vast, ancient history. Found all over Italy, it is in the Karst/Carso region that it finds perhaps its greatest expression, displaying intensely fruity and muscat-like notes of geranium and pear balanced by the crisp acidity and minerality so typical of the wines of that zone. Persistent and intense with a long, clean finish, it pairs extremely well with vegetable and sea food dishes.
