Malvasia D.O.C. Collio – Due del Monte Wine Estate

Malvasia

D.O.C. Collio

Local princess. Could be a proud cousin of Friulano. Very elegant nose with spicy aromas and candied fruit with a background of white pepper. Full and powerful in the mouth, with a good balance between freshness and minerality that makes it long and persistent.

It is completely dry with approximately 14,5% vol alcol produced only from natural sugar from grapes.
