Luretta proposes an unusual version of Malvasia Aromatica di Candia: instead of light and sparkling, firm and intense. This is the only way to respect the rich character of this very special grape variety. The typical grape of the Colli Piacentini, ripened in the sun to offer a wine with multifaceted scents, ranging from sweet white flowers to Mediterranean herbs.
Malvasia is an ancient and diverse grape family that produces a wide range of white, red, and sweet wines. Originating from the Mediterranean, Malvasia has been cultivated for centuries, with notable plantings in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. The most common variety, Malvasia Bianca, is widely used in both dry and sweet white wines, known for their aromatic richness and complexity.
What makes Malvasia unique is its expressive aromatics and versatility. Dry Malvasia wines are typically floral and fruity, offering notes of white peach, apricot, citrus, honeysuckle, and almond, often with a slight oily texture. Sweeter styles, such as Malvasia delle Lipari, Malmsey Madeira, and Malvasia-based Vin Santo, develop honeyed, caramelized, and nutty flavors balanced by refreshing acidity.
Malvasia thrives in warm, coastal regions, where its bright acidity and aromatic depth make it a fantastic pairing for seafood, creamy cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine, offering wine lovers a rich and diverse tasting experience.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna is one of Italy's best loved wine regions, and this northern region of one of the world's great wine countries has been associated with fine wine making and superb viticulture for an astonishing length of time. Indeed, wine has most probably been made in Emilia-Romagna for almost three thousand years, and as one might imagine, such an ancient and respected wine region remains today deeply traditional and proud, with wineries determined to protect the region's status and reputation as a region of quality and distinction. With twenty-two DOC's, and two DOCG's, Emilia-Romagna is very much a home of quality wines, and there is a fairly even percentage of red wine and white wine grapes being grown in the region's expansive and beautiful vineyards.
