The Malvazija from Cantina Benvenuti is a white wine that authentically represents the Istrian territory, famous for its unique characteristics. Made from Malvazija grapes, an indigenous variety with an intense aromatic profile, this wine best expresses the minerality and freshness typical of the area.

In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow color, while on the nose it offers delicate notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, and a pleasant citrus vein. The sip is balanced, fresh, and harmonious, with a good structure that leaves room for light salty sensations, indicating the proximity to the sea that characterizes the production microclimate. Aging in steel enhances the purity and fragrance of the variety without weighing it down.

Perfect to pair with seafood dishes, light appetizers, or fresh cheeses, the Malvazija of Cantina Benvenuti is a refined example of Istrian white wine capable of telling its land’s story with elegance and freshness.
