Caravaglio "OCCHIO Di TERRA" Malvasia Delle Lipari *orange Wine*
| Vintage: | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Organically Farmed. Orange Wine. 100% Malvasia delle Lipari. With 10 days of fermenting juice and skins, this is emphatically "Malvasia" in character, with lychee/rose (similar to one of the defining aromas of Gewurztraminer) along with ripe peach, lemon, and a saline freshness, finishing with a slight grip of tannin. This is a great, authentic expression of this type of Malvasia, which is more aromatic than the Istriana type found in Northern Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. "Few places in the world embody the philosophy of natural winemaking as effortlessly as does Salina, where Antonino Caravaglio crafts his peerless wines by hand. Part of the Aeolian Island chain off the coast of Sicily, Salina is a slice of paradise, created by volcanoes and carved by the Mediterranean winds. Caravaglio makes what he calls âislandâ wines, choosing to ferment on indigenous yeasts and limit the addition of sulfur, all so that Salina's natural characterâ"its volcanic soils, its sea-salty air, its wild herbsâ"is exactly what you taste and savor in each rare bottle." - North Berkeley Imports |
