Malvasia

Tuscan Coast IGT - White Wine

Tuscan Malvasia has long been used to complement the aromas of Chianti and of traditional “Bianco Toscano”.
With this wine, we wanted to explore the qualities of Malvasia del Chianti when vinified as a pure varietal at a low temperature (16°C).

Aging on the fine lees gives us an elegant wine that surprises with its substantial structure and good persistence.

The result is a fresh wine, aromatic without excess, with sufficient acidity and notes of acacia flowers, bitter almond, and hints of citrus.

TASTING NOTES

Malvasia Tuscan Coast IGT - White Wine

Straw yellow. Fresh, slightly aromatic bouquet, with citrus aromas and hints of acacia and almond. Thanks to its good acidity and minerality, the palate is rich of grapefruit, pineapple and banana. Nice persistent finish.
