Malvasia

“saline, spicy, aromatic”

my Malvasia is the only variety of wine with which I was able to capture the flavors
of the sea with its iodine tones

Tasting
Distinctive clear pale yellow, the Kante’s Malvasia is sea and iodine. At the nose vertical and intense with pleasant notes of chamomile, broom, linden and acacia.
