Malvasia Del Salento IGP , produced by the renowned Varvaglione winery, stands out for its unique character and refinement that reflects the rich winemaking tradition of Salento. This wine is part of the "12 e mezzo" line, so called in reference to its moderate alcohol content of 12.5%, which makes it an excellent option for those looking for a light but expressive wine.

The wine has a straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, it is possible to perceive intense floral and fruity notes, with intense aromas of peach, apricot and notes of honey and white flowers, which blend into a delicate and persistent bouquet. Malvasia is famously appreciated for its broad and complex aromatic profile, and this interpretation by Varvaglione is no different.

In the mouth, the wine is fresh, well balanced with a pleasant acidity that makes it lively and inviting. The structure is soft, with a palate that brings back the olfactory sensations, enriched by a light flavor that prolongs the aftertaste.

Ideal to be served cold, this wine is perfect as an aperitif, but it also pairs splendidly with light fish dishes, seafood appetizers and fresh cheeses. Malvasia Del Salento IGP by Varvaglione is an elegant testimony of the expression of the Malvasia grape variety in a territory blessed by the sun and the passion for viticulture.

A wine that will not fail to fascinate wine lovers looking for an authentic expression of Southern Italy, suitable for any special occasion or as a pleasant companion for moments of daily relaxation.
