The wine Ostine from Cantina Vin Viandante
Ostine from Cantina Vin Viandante is a wine that tells a story of deep connection between its territory and winemaking tradition. The name “Ostine” evokes the ropes that held the mast of Roman ships, symbolizing strength and connection. This wine, a Malvasia, celebrates the Lazio region, particularly the vineyards of Cori in the province of Latina.
The winemaking
Ostine is made from 100% Malvasia grapes, a variety known for its versatility and ability to express the characteristics of the terroir. The vinification is primarily done in steel, with 10% of the must fermenting in wood, enriching the wine with aromatic complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for six months in steel, with an additional 20% maturing in barrique. This aging method gives the wine a refined structure and depth of flavors, maintaining a balance between freshness and complexity.
Tasting the wine of the winery
The color of Ostine is straw yellow with golden reflections, hinting at the richness of its aromas. On the nose, the wine offers a complex bouquet of dried flowers and herbal notes, inviting careful and meditative tasting. On the palate, Ostine presents a complex structure and marked sapidity, characteristics that make it a wine of great personality. Its ability to evolve in the glass makes it ideal for those who love discovering new nuances with each sip.
Food Pairings
The complexity and aromatic richness of Ostine make it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with fish-based preparations, such as baked sea bream with aromatic herbs, or with white meat dishes, like herb-roasted chicken. Its sapidity also complements soft cheeses, such as brie or camembert, enhancing creamy notes and hints of hazelnut. For those who prefer a more traditional pairing, Ostine can be enjoyed with Lazio cuisine, like pasta alla gricia, where the wine’s sapidity balances the richness of pecorino and guanciale.
Ostine from Cantina Vin Viandante is a wine to explore with care, a sensory journey that deserves to be undertaken with slowness and curiosity.
