The wine Malvasia from Paolo Caccese winery
The Malvasia from Paolo Caccese’s winery comes from Malvasia grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards in the town of Pradis in the province of Cormons in the heart of the Collio DOC. The soil rich in fragmented marl and sandstone that time has enriched with salts, and the protection of the Alps, which allow a climate with a significant temperature range, make this area a unique place for vine growing.
The Winemaking
After the rigorously manual grape harvest, only the selected bunches get to the cellar for winemaking. After a soft pressing, the must ferments in steel at controlled temperatures; the wine then ages for some time in steel. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
Tasting the wine from the winery
Deep yellow, the aroma is pleasant and intense with hints of white pepper that intertwine with notes of green apple and tropical fruit. Dry and round on the palate. A harmonious wine with a good correspondence between the aromas and the taste. Good persistence.
Food Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish and white meats but also with vegetable soups and risotto.
