Malvasia delle Lipari Passito DOC 2022 Caravaglio

Caravaglio's Malvasia delle Lipari passita is a historical wine of the Aeolian Islands, known since the twentieth century in Europe. This wine is produced almost exclusively from Malvasia delle Lipari grapes, with a 5% of black Corinto grapes.

The grapes are harvested by hand and placed to dry on racks, where they remain for 2–3 weeks, so that the concentration of sugars and the development of typical aromas occur. The vinification takes place without the addition of yeasts. The wine ages partly in steel and partly in oak for 6 months. It then rests for another 6 months in the bottle.

The wine is presented in the glass with an amber colour with golden reflections, bright and crystalline. The nose opens up a multiplicity of aromas of dried fruit (dates, figs, sultanas and apricots) with a final note of vanilla. In the mouth the sweetness is not at all cloying, thanks to the freshness and flavour. Long finish.

Malvasia goes very well with dry pastries, but also with cream or jam tarts.
