The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Malvasia presents a luminous straw-yellow hue, hinting at sunshine captured within the glass, with a delicate, persistent effervescence. The nose is an intoxicating bouquet of ripe pear, honeysuckle, and a whisper of almond blossom, characteristic of the noble Malvasia grape grown in the Friuli Colli Orientali.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it unfolds with a graceful sweetness, balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps it from becoming cloying, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Its creamy texture coats the mouth, revealing subtle notes of apricot jam and a touch of saline minerality that echoes the coastal influence of the region. This wine is a delightful aperitif, perfect alongside delicate seafood appetizers, fresh burrata with ripe tomatoes, or as a celebratory toast. It also harmonizes beautifully with light fruit tarts and panettone during festive gatherings.
