Evocative of the Adriatic coast, this remarkable Malvasia opens with aromas of sea breeze, oyster shell and delicate white flowers, layered with white peach, preserved lemon and a gentle savoury nuttiness. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully poised, combining vibrant saline minerality with a creamy, textural richness built through extended lees ageing. Subtle notes of almond and a delicate flor influence add further complexity, leading to a long, mouthwatering finish that speaks unmistakably of Istria. Elegant, gastronomic and deeply distinctive, this is a wine made for the table—especially alongside fresh seafood.

Vinification

After hand-harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and fermented in open-top vats with four days of skin contact, extracting gentle texture and aromatic complexity. The wine was then transferred to a combination of stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs, where fermentation finished and the wine matured on its fine lees for two years. The naturally cool 2021 vintage delivered exceptional acidity. This patient ageing lends remarkable savoury depth, creamy texture and complexity while preserving the wine's vibrant freshness and ageing potential.
