Quarticello, Despina 2022

Place: Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Grape: Malvasia

Vibe: Zesty

This is the local clone of Malvasia, named di Candia. Nice name, Malvasia di Candia. Sounds like candy. There's a touch of residual sugar left in here too, so things are heady on the nose, and succulent in the mouth. A beautiful combination that's floored by a tonne of zesty acidity washing thought, keeping you refreshed. ABV: 11.5%
