Winery Review: The perlage is fine and persistent. The color is pale pink, almost cherry. The aromatic scent is intense and reminiscent of wild berries, blueberries and wild strawberries. The flavor is sweet, slightly sparkling and full of berries. Since this is a sweet and aromatic wine is a classic to combine with fruit tarts and pastry. An ideal companion in moments of celebration, Malvasia is also a nice refreshing drink at any time of the day.

My Review: Smells like strawberry candy and a tiny bit like honeysuckle. This wine is smooth and silky. Very sweet and tastes like cherries and strawberries. Both the smell and taste are extremely sweet. This wine is delicious, fun, and easy to drink. However, this is slightly too sweet for me to drink alone so I would pair it with a dessert.

I tasted this wine without food.
