Venica Collio Malvasia Petris 2024

Aromatic still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 13.5% ABV, produced by Venica. 100% Malvasia Bianca. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine that embodies the tradition of the Collio region, with a broad and subtly aromatic bouquet ranging from yellow-fleshed fruit to citrus notes and the honeyed touch typical of acacia. The origins of Malvasia Istriana in Friuli-Venezia Giulia date back to the 13th century. Maceration for approximately 20 hours at a temperature of 10-12 degrees C in special containers, protected from oxygen by innovative systems that recycle the fermentation carbon dioxide, in order to reduce the antioxidant content. Fermentation and aging on the lees for 5 months both in large 20-27 HL wooden barrels (60%) and in stainless steel tanks (40%). Intense and brilliant straw yellow, tending towards golden. The balance between the soft, creamy texture and the grape’s typical liveliness and minerality is remarkable. The finish is long, with citrus and floral notes.
