Malvasia, Venezia Giulia Bianco

The Malvasia is the more gregarious, talkative, eager younger brother to the more inward and contemplative Vitovska, yet both express the powerfully stony essence of the Carso in their own delicious way. The wine presents notes of crunchy mango, white pepper, and lemon verbena, with a subtle honey undertone emerging on the driving, mineral-drenched finish. Even after a decade, the wine will offer amazing depth and freshness, proving that its relative youthful exuberance does not preclude an equally impressive age-ability.
