Malvasia - Chàos

Still White Wine from 100% Malvasia. 
The Malvasia Istriana is a vine belonging to the great Malvasia family of Hellenic origin and its cultivation in Friuli-Venezia Giulia dates back to 300 AD. 

TYPE OF SOIL 
We cultivate, vinify and dream in the DOC Friuli Isonzo area in the eastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The Doc Friuli Isonzo is a green area that includes a flat territory on the banks of the Rivers Isonzo and Judrio, gently sloping from the hills of the Collio and the Karst towards the Adriatic Sea. 

The Malvasia is grown behind the manor house near the old vegetable garden where grandfather, Severino Brumat, planted the vegetables that enriched the peasant table; there are vineyards that have seen more than 50-70 years of harvests. The terroir is composed of colluvial deposits, red earth and other types coming from floods of other waterways such as Versa and Torre.

The exposure is south-south-east. First year produced: 2015

Ageing
The wine is left to age on the lees in stainless steel tanks for about 10 months and a few months in the bottle.
Alcohol content (vintage 2021): 13.5% vol
Total tartaric acid (vintage 2021): 5.70 g/L

TASTING NOTES 
A 70-year-old vineyard that is pampered until the harvest of its fruits, which is done manually, gives life to Malvasia. Istrian Malvasia, the wine that perhaps best expresses our land. With a straw-yellow color and golden reflections, the nose immediately makes us understand the typical floral structure, you can perceive notes of orange blossom typical of the area from which this vine comes.
By drinking it you can savour notes of bitter almond, finely citrus, persistent, complex.
Tasting it we find ourselves walking in a stable meadow, or in one of those ancient meadows that renew the tradition of wild flowers and wild herbs of which Friuli still manages to guarantee its survival.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Excellent fish wines (pasta, risotto with seafood, both roasted and salted crustaceans).

Best serving temperature: 10-12 °C
