Malvasia
Isonzo del Friuli DOC
Malvasia Istriana
Malvasia Istriana is a very expressive grape that grows in the Istrian peninsula shared by Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. The aromatics of this local grape explode out of the glass with flowers, exotic fruits, apricot, and quince, combining on the palate with lime leaf and ginger, and finishing with good salinity and minerality. This wine is perfect with the local seafood but also pairs well with Japanese and Thai cuisines.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Meticulous organic and biodynamic farming and a fine-tuned approach in the winery, make this example of Friulano distinct. There are two harvests to produce this wine. The first is aged in steel and the second harvest is aged in large neutral barrels and allowed to go through Malo. Native yeast fermentation and long lees aging create a complex wine that is food friendly and a joy to drink.
