Malvazija Castagnari

The grapes come from the single vineyard Castagnari at 220–240 metres above sea level in the Buje hills. The site is characterised by white, clayey-calcareous flysch; the proximity to the sea and good ventilation support ripening. After overnight skin contact, the must ferments with indigenous yeasts from the same vineyard. The wine matures for two years on the fine lees in stainless steel and then for at least three months in bottle. It is dry, full-bodied and fresh at the same time, with aromas of pear, apple, white peach, acacia and tropical fruit, a mineral-saline finish and a subtle yeasty note.
