With its elegant straw yellow color and slight greenish reflections, the Malvasia Carso DOC from Castelvecchio represents a fine expression of this native variety. This wine reveals a very fine aromatic bouquet, featuring floral notes mixed with hints of exotic fruits and mineral undertones, typical of the Carso terroir, a notoriously rocky and windy area that imparts a marked freshness and liveliness to the wine.

On the palate, Castelvecchio's Malvasia is vigorous yet balanced, with a pleasant acidity that harmoniously blends with the medium body structure. The flavors of ripe white fruits, peach, and a touch of almond in the finish make this wine versatile for food pairing, ideal with lightly seasoned fish dishes, seafood appetizers, or as a refined aperitif.

The work following the harvest involves fermentation at a controlled temperature, followed by a period of aging in steel to best preserve the freshness and aromatic integrity of the wine. A superb example of how Carso can influence and elevate Malvasia, the Malvasia Carso DOC from Castelvecchio is an oenological gem to discover and appreciate.
