Poggio Maestrino Poventa

From a typically Tuscan grape generally used for the production of passito wines or vinified together with other vines, this pure Malvasia is born that expresses the peculiarities of the grape to the maximum: from the deep straw yellow color to the (faintly) aromatic notes to the sensation of roundness and sweetness. The vinification techniques used enhance the minerality and flavor given by the hilly areas of central Tuscany in the area of Gaiole in Chianti.

The taste is pleasant and balanced, with sweet, slightly aromatic notes typical of Malvasia Toscana. Good minerality and flavor which lengthen its finish.
