Description:
Bright floral aromas reminiscent of orange blossoms absolutely burst out of the glass; there's also a hint of honey there. The ethereal, light nose is followed by a palate that is decidedly weightier than expected. A bright, mandarin orange initial impression blends into flavors of apricot. The finish is crisp and dry with a long, lingering mineral freshness.

Widely grown in Italy as distinctive area sub-varieties, such as Malvasia di Candia, Malvasia Istriana etc. Used to produce dry and sweet white, and light red, wines with high alcohol content and residual sugar.
