Malvasia

IGT Tuscany White Wine

Tuscanian Malvasia has been always traditionally used to complete the aromas of Chianti or of the “Tuscanian White” wines.

In developing this wine we wanted to find out the quality of the pure Malvasia of our Chianti region, when made with modern technology using low temperature (16C) fermentation.
