"The Kante 2012 Malvasia is a tremendous wine and one of the best expressions of Malvasia from this vintage. Malvasia is on a fast rise in Northeast Italy and this wine is one of the protagonists of this exciting trend. The bouquet offers impeccable aromas of white rose, honeysuckle and jasmine. The wine is not obviously fragrant, but the aromas are intense and forthcoming nonetheless. Delicate herbal tones linger at the back. The mouthfeel is crisp and smooth. Malvasia offers thicker consistency than most white grapes and you sense that extra creaminess here."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
