Malvasia

Malvasia is an ancient and diverse grape family that produces a wide range of white, red, and sweet wines. Originating from the Mediterranean, Malvasia has been cultivated for centuries, with notable plantings in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. The most common variety, Malvasia Bianca, is widely used in both dry and sweet white wines, known for their aromatic richness and complexity.

What makes Malvasia unique is its expressive aromatics and versatility. Dry Malvasia wines are typically floral and fruity, offering notes of white peach, apricot, citrus, honeysuckle, and almond, often with a slight oily texture. Sweeter styles, such as Malvasia delle Lipari, Malmsey Madeira, and Malvasia-based Vin Santo, develop honeyed, caramelized, and nutty flavors balanced by refreshing acidity.

Malvasia thrives in warm, coastal regions, where its bright acidity and aromatic depth make it a fantastic pairing for seafood, creamy cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine, offering wine lovers a rich and diverse tasting experience.
