Description

Medici Malvasia Dolce Quintessenza NV

100% Malvasia di Candia.

The Quintessenza Malvasia is a Vino Spumante from Medici Ermete. Although Medici Ermete has achieved world fame for its excellent Lambruscos, the winery proves with this sparkling wine that Medici Ermete embodies more than Lambrusco.

The Quintessenza Malvasia glows straw yellow in the glass. The intense bouquet smells wonderfully of light fruit and has nuances of fresh tropical fruits, white flowers and notes of sage. Its fine sparkling carbon dioxide gives this Vino Spumante an invigorating freshness. The taste is sweet and fizzy and fragrant, with fruit flavors and a sweetness that cleanses rather than cloys on the palate. The acidity is finely balanced and also supports the fresh character of the Quintessenza Malvasia.

Serve this Vino Spumante well chilled at 7-9 ° C to underline its fresh style. The Malvasia Spumante Brut is a fine companion to sausage and cheese platters.

Youthful & Spritzy Sparklings

Light, citrus driven & fun, a lot of these sparklings tend to have floral or tree fruit aromas like green apples. In more crisp styles, they are often more floral or citrus driven, and can be slightly sweet in more apple or pear driven fizzante styles

Partial (Arrested) Fermentation

Arrested fermentation is the act of intentionally stopping fermentation before it's complete, usually by chilling the must down. This is often done to retain sweetness, and one of the more famous styles would be Moscato d'Asti
