MALVASIA CLASSIC

Crystal clear, golden yellow color with amber discs. Expressed aromas of ripe pear and quince, dried field flowers and notes of caramel and tobacco. Quite fresh, soft and rounded taste. Structured wine with lasting aftertaste. A slightly rustic feature which is reminiscent of the traditional Malvasia of our ancestors.
