The Malvasia Riserva produced by the renowned Kante winery is a brilliant example of the perfect balance between wine-making tradition and innovation. Native to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, this label stands out for its intense aromatic expressiveness and structural complexity.
The winemaking process follows strict protocols that preserve the integrity of the original fruit. The carefully selected Malvasia grapes undergo slow fermentation and maturation in oak barriques, which adds depth and complexity to the wine without overwhelming its natural notes. The result is a reserve wine that reflects the purebred essence of the Malvasia variety.
Visually, it presents a rich golden yellow color, which anticipates its olfactory and taste richness. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe fruit such as peaches and apricots emerge, intertwined with nuances of honey, sweet spices, and a light touch of vanilla. The minerality is well evident, a distinctive trait that Kante successfully expresses thanks to the unique composition of the karstic soils on which the vineyards extend.
On the palate, Kante's Malvasia Riserva surprises with its impeccable balance between lively acidity and a soft, enveloping structure. The complexity of flavors repeats, with additions of candied citrus notes and a long, pleasantly aromatic aftertaste that lingers, inviting another sip.
This wine pairs beautifully with elaborate fish dishes, white meats, and aged cheeses, but it is also a superb star as a contemplative wine. The Malvasia Riserva by Kante is ideal for those seeking a wine from a winery with a strong territorial bond, capable of expressing the character of an ancient variety with modern elegance.
