The Malvasia di Candia is historically from Crete, arriving in this part of Italy many centuries ago, and it is also one of the oldest known grapes. Up until 30-50 years ago, it was only vinified in sweet and demi-sec style, but Camilo Donati now makes both a dry and sweet Malvasia.
This Malvasia frizzante is not the traditional sweet or semi-sweet wine. This is dry, refreshing, with perfumed aromas typical of this grape varietal and notes of stone fruits (peach, apricot) but also citrus with a touch of spices. The bubbles are fine but persistent, there is a bit of skin contact which adds some incredible texture. Unfined, unfiltered and to be served chilled.
Pairs well with fried and spicy food, pizza or as an aperitif.
