DORATA - Aged Malvasia

Golden-yellow in color with a slight amber glow, it pours thick and viscous in the glass. It smells of ripe yellow fruit, ripe pears and apricots, dried fruits (figs, candied oranges), toasted almonds, anise, cinnamon and exotic spices. It is full-bodied, extremely intense complex taste, oily texture, sweet tannin flavor supported by enough freshness, long-lasting taste of sweet fruit and exotic spices.
Obtained from organically grown Istrian Malvazia grapes with fermentation with berry maceration for 4 weeks, after malolactic fermentation it is aged partly in new and partly in neutral oak barrels 225L. After 12 months, it goes into the best blend with part of the wine that matured on the lees of yeast in stainless steel, and that did not undergo malolactic fermentation, which keeps a full warm body, medium-high freshness, and persistence of taste in balance.
