About this WINE
Malvasia (Malmsey)
Malvasia is a catch-all for a family of ancient Mediterranean grapes known as Malvasia, Malvoisie or Malmsey; their origins lie in Asia Minor and their relevance in decline.
Malvasia is responsible for producing a range of wines styles and colours; red and white, dry, sweet and sparkling. Perhaps better known for its ameliorative effect on Tuscan Vin Santo, providing honeyed smoky fruit intensity, while in Portugal& Madeira it reveals itself as Boal (Malvasia Fina) & Malmsey (Malvasia Candida) in the production of fortified wines.
Massimo Romeo is a source of top-class Vin Santo di Montepulciano, while Barbeito is famed for its Malmsey Madeira.

Description
The nose is bursting with aromas of candied fig, Demerara sugar, tobacco leaf and toasty oak. The palate is deep, rich and rounded with an initial attack of sweetness followed up by a rapier-like and highly refreshing acidity. A thoroughly delicious digestif and despite its age, it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
