2022 Capofaro Malvasia di Salina 0.5L

The Malvasia comes from the "Anteatro" vineyard, which lies 50 meters above sea level and whose soil is characterized by a loose, sandy texture resulting from the disintegration of old lava sediments. Despite its high porosity, the soil has a good water retention capacity. In general, the soil is poor in nutrients and organic matter, which can be easily decomposed due to the porous structure and the warm climate. The grapes generally ripen in the first ten days of September and dehydrate slowly, maintaining good acidity and a reasonable alcohol content. The integrity of the fruit is particularly important, which is why the grapes are not dried in the sun, but in the shade to promote a drying process that prevents the varietal notes contained in the delicate skin from being lost.
