Malvasia refers to an ancient and diverse family of grape varieties with roots tracing back to Greece, now found across many wine producing regions worldwide. Rather than a single style, Malvasia encompasses a wide spectrum of wines, from crisp, aromatic whites to richer, textured expressions and deeply complex sweet wines. What unites them is a naturally expressive profile, often marked by floral lift, ripe fruit, and a gentle sense of warmth.
Depending on the variety and growing region, Malvasia wines can show notes of orange blossom, stone fruit, pear, honey, and subtle nuttiness. Some styles lean fresh and dry, while others embrace richness and depth, making Malvasia a fascinating category for those who enjoy characterful, aromatic wines with a long and storied history.
