Description
Minimum order 6 bottles. Malvasia is one of the oldest white grape varieties, cultivated in practically all the islands of the Mediterranean since ancient times. Originally from Greece, its name comes from an Italian deformation of the name of the Greek town of Monemvasia, from where it spread to Naples, Madeira, the Canary Islands, Sitges and Turis. Its age and wide diffusion have led to the creation of sub-varieties, although due to its low resistance to diseases, its cultivation has been largely replaced by other varieties. Type of wine: Sweet Grape variety: 100% Malvasía Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness, in 15 kg boxes. They are cooled at 4ºC for one night and a static racking is carried out for 24 hours. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at low temperature, to preserve the varietal aromas as much as possible, and can last from 3 to 4 weeks. While respecting the wine’s original personality and fruitiness, part of the wine remains in French oak for a few weeks, thus increasing its aromatic complexity. Finally, the different tanks are brought together for stabilisation. Clarification is carried out with bentonite and vegetable proteins. Once filtered and bottled, the wine rests for some time in the cellar before being marketed.
