Winery Review: "The perlage is fine and persistent. The color is pale pink, almost cherry. The aromatic scent is intense and reminiscent of wild berries, blueberries and wild strawberries. The flavor is sweet, slightly sparkling and full of berries. Since this is a sweet and aromatic wine is a classic to combine with fruit tarts and pastry. An ideal companion in moments of celebration, Malvasia is also a nice refreshing drink at any time of the day" (Vintage Cellar).
My Review: Very nice and refreshing. Unlike the winery review, I did not pick up on the berry flavors and aromas, but I did detect apricot and peach. The slight sparkling component was very subtle and added a special feel to this wine without overpowering the fruity flavors. This wine was pretty sweet, so I would probably drink it sparingly or as a dessert wine. I also did not try this with any food.
