Turno Malva(l)
This Malvasia has a slightly hazy, golden-yellow colour that quickly calms down when turning it in the glass, while we observe tears slowly slide down the walls.
Intense and delicate aromas evoke yellow apple, pineapple, acacia flower, chamomile, marzipan, forest honey, vanilla. With notes of butter, caramel and lemon peel, reminding us of a lemon tart.
The mouthfeel is soft, oily, with emphasized freshness and mineral salinity. The latter perceptions are standing out, refreshing us, and pleasantly prolonging the play of intense taste in the mouth. A wine with a full-body expressed elegance and long persistency.
