Malvasia Riserva follows a white winemaking process which involves 12 months of aging in old French oak barriques and stabilization in steel tanks. The wine is bottled without filtration and remains in the cellar for more than 90 months.

Straw yellow in color in the glass, it offers a predominantly bouquet to the nose floral where hints of chamomile, hawthorn, broom, lime blossom and orange blossom prevail, as well as fruity notes of candied orange and pear.

A well structured and balanced wine, heat, with a lit flavor and a finish to be savored that offers a pleasant aroma of custard.

Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany first and second courses of fish and sushi.

Winery history
Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.
Production philosophy
Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
