Made of the semi-aromatic Malvasia di Lipari, referred to here in Calabria as Greco di Bianco (Bianco being a nearby town.) Left in contact with the skins for almost a day in the press, then fermented (using indigenous yeasts with a ‘pied de cuve’) and aged in stainless steel, bottled in the spring following the vintage. Bright pale yellow with a golden glint; amazing aroma and flavor, rich with floral and fruit notes including jasmine and apricot; bone dry on the palate, very long finish. This is the first excellent white wine I’ve had from Calabria; if you like really expressive white wine you have to try it. If you drink dry Riesling you have to try it.
