Malvazija

The vines grow in Ponca, a limestone- and marl-rich flysch soil in the terraces of Medana. The grapes are hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts and macerated on the skins for around three to four days. The wine then matures for a long period in acacia casks, partly for one year in 500-litre casks and for a further two years in 2,000-litre casks. In the glass it is copper-coloured, with ripe citrus fruit, dried fruit and wild herbs; the acidity is fresh, the body dense, and the ripe tannins structure the long, mineral finish. It is bottled unfiltered.
