Michelangelo da Caravaggio Emilia Bianco IGT 2023

A characterful, aromatic Malvasia creation: Michelangelo da Caravaggio Bianco from Emilia Romagna . Impressively intense bouquet with notes of white blossoms, flowers and exotic fruits. Wonderfully soft and round, lovely melting and a slight, barely perceptible acidity. A perfect Bianco to accompany numerous starters, vegetable dishes, fish and poultry. Luca Maroni regularly awards the highest score!

Malvasia grapes are harvested by hand in boxes. Approximately 20% of the grapes are harvested later to obtain a higher concentration of sugar and aroma.

Fine, elegant and aromatic. With hints of white flowers, exotic fruits and white pulp.
