La Malvagia, in name but certainly not to the palate. We are talking about an elegant Malvasia Emilia IGT, offered here by Il Poggiarello. The aromatic Malvasia di Candia, which in this case is made pure, is a white grape variety, probably originating in Greece. Widespread above all in Oltrepò Pavese and Emilia Romagna, it finds a simply ideal habitat in the hills of Piacenza, capable of developing those fine, typical aromas that its many enthusiasts love so much. In this case, the aromatic framework of the starting grapes is respected in the best possible way, thanks to a particularly careful processing in the cellar that begins with a phase of cryo-maceration on the skin for about 48 hours. This is followed by the classic fermentation phase, in this case with selected yeasts, and an ageing phase in stainless steel which lasts until the following spring. The wine is then blended and bottled. Luminous straw yellow, with golden highlights, this aromatic white wine impresses above all with the cleanliness of its varietal aromas. Richly fruity, it has notes that might recall those of the Muscat and that invite you to sip. In the mouth, then, one discovers a wine characterised by a pleasantly harmonious taste and perfectly consistent with what one perceives on the nose. Citrus notes of citron and lime stand out, with a slightly balsamic aftertaste. Excellent as an aperitif, this intense and elegant white wine goes well with slightly spicy dishes. Try it, for example, with Asian dishes.
