Malvasia
Tuscan Coast IGT - White Wine
Tuscan Malvasia has been always traditionally used to complete the aromas of Chianti or of the “Tuscan 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 (16°C) fermentation.
The result is a fresh, aromatic wine without excess, sufficiently acidic, with aromas of acacia fruit and bitter almond and hints of citrus notes.
An elegant wine that surprises with its solid structure and good persistence.
