Donna Lisa Malvasia is produced with 100% Malvasia Bianca grapes, harvested in the first ten days of September.
The grapes, such as Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca), Prugnola and Rossola, from the Grumello sub-area, are vinified "in red" with a medium-long maceration. After 2 months in steel and 18 months in large 80 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 4 months of aging in bottle.
Color: Intense yellow with golden reflections. Bouquet: Hints of ripe banana pulp, medlar peel and acacia flowers. Taste: Round and persistent in the mouth with an alcohol content capable of highlighting a dense and white tannic texture as a corollary of a vegetable and mineral acidity.
Passerina grapes are grown in sandy but basically calcareous soils, offering a white with a fresh flavor and particular notes of golden apple, wisteria and lime. A white to combine with fish dishes, fresh cheeses and stretched curd cheeses.
An ancient vine such as Pecorino gives an organic white with a persistent and harmonious flavor, slightly balsamic, which is remembered for the notes of pear, peach and lavender flowers.
Verdeca grapes express themselves with the characteristic straw yellow and greenish reflections.
Wine produced in an alpine environment using Nebbiolo grapes vinified in white. The geological origin of the land dates back to the collision between the African and European plates that gave rise to the Alps. The great variability of the resulting rocks give minerality and elegance.
