Tasting Notes
A complex, layered expression of Istrian Malvasia.
Appearance
Golden-yellow with a greenish glint — the deeper hue of a Malvasia raised slowly on its lees rather than rushed to bottle.
Nose
Opens with toasted almonds, sage, and chamomile, then evolves toward ripe pears, green apples, and elderflower tea as it breathes in the glass.
Palate
Broad and lingering, finishing with noble bitter almond and a mineral-salty touch carried in from the Adriatic — unmistakably southern Istria.
Food Pairings
Built for the Istrian table — and yours
Grilled scampi, sea bass, or shellfish — the wine's salinity and acidity mirror the coast it comes from.
Istria's white truffles with fuži pasta or creamy risotto meet their match in the wine's toasted, savory depth.
Mature sheep's and cow's milk cheeses — the lees-aged texture stands up where lighter whites fade.
Herb-roasted chicken or pork loin with Mediterranean herbs — a white wine with the structure of a red.
