Salento Malvasia Bianca

The Varvaglione 12 E Mezzo is a delightful white wine made from the Malvasia Bianca grape variety in the sunny region of Salento. This wine offers a refreshing and crisp body with a lively acidity that beautifully complements the prominent fruit intensity of the Malvasia Bianca grapes. The dryness of the wine makes it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a clean and invigorating finish. Perfect for a warm day or to pair with light seafood dishes, this wine from Salento embodies the essence of Italian white wines.

Region:

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
