Malvasia delle Lipari is our nectar of the Gods, a DOC wine that comes from vineyards perched on terraces overlooking the sea. An example of heroic viticulture, it brings to light one of the oldest and most celebrated enological gems of the Mediterranean
A Challenge of Sweetness
Our Malvasia is made with the intent to demonstrate that freshness and territorial minerality can exist even in a sweet wine.
A grape juice that wraps you in an embrace of sweetness followed by a marine freshness.
The two native grape varieties, Malvasia delle Lipari and Corinto Nero, evoke notes of ripe apricot, figs, elderflower, and raisins, with nuances of Mediterranean scrub.
It has the sun and a pronounced saline minerality in its deep roots. The fascinating aromas of Malvasia delle Lipari blend masterfully with the fresh mineral touch of Corinto Nero to create a flavor where the concept of balance becomes the archetype of complex Sicilian elegance ready to conquer the world.
The grapes are selected and harvested manually, the yeasts are indigenous, and the clarification occurs naturally by racking the wine several times before bottling.
Rich yet remarkably fresh, the 2016 Malvasia delle Lipari impresses with a blend of dried peaches and almond paste lifted by a dusting of confectioner’s spice. This is like nectar on the palate, weighty and fruit-focused, yet with a core of bright acidity to balance as apricot preserves and raw honey seduce the senses. Tangerine and plum sauce come together with hints of roasted almond as this finishes with admirable length and unexpected freshness. This is a hedonist’s delight.

Bright orangey gold. Has the sort of intense and inviting aroma that makes me laugh out loud -it suggests such deliciousness.

Enters rich, dense and sweet then turns livelier thanks to harmonious, bright acidity that leaves a lingering fresh mouthfeel.
Ian D’Agata VINOUS settembre 2016
Raffinato ventaglio aromatico che si apre con albicocca disidratata, scorza d’arancio e cedro canditi, cenni di miele di eucalipto, sfumature di gariga con capperi e suggestioni salmastre, leggiadre le nota vanigliate e la frutta secca. Al palato la dolcezza viene assorbita dalla verve tartarica e sospinta dall’energica sapidità nel lungo finale giocato sulle note di frutta candita.
