A dry, fragrant, and powerfully aromatic Malvasia Secca from Donati Camillo in Emilia-Romagna, fermented on the skins with indigenous yeast and aged without additions — a wine of straw-yellow colour, unmistakable bitter aftertaste, and enough character to carry a whole meal.
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow in colour, very fragrant, with the unmistakable bitter almond aftertaste that is a peculiar and beloved characteristic of Malvasia. Powerful in both aroma and mouth — the winemaker says it is also a whole-meal wine that improves with age. From ordinary pasta through to challenging dishes, this handles it all.
