"Nurah" Malvasia delle Lipari Naturale 2021

It carries within it the warmth and strength of a borderland, its volcanic soils and the sun that kisses it for long months every year. Nurah, Malvasia delle Lipari DOC, proposed here by Cantine Colosi, is a fine goblet to offer to all lovers of Sicily and its sweet and raisin wines. It comes from the typical Aeolian vine, Malvasia, almost in purity. Only a small percentage is added, about 5% of Corinto Nero. Both grapes are harvested when fully ripe, when the summer sun has already begun to wither the berries, concentrating the sugar and the aromas. This is followed by a phase of drying in the sun, on racks, and a very careful vinification of the grapes now almost completely deprived of their water. For the final refinement, only stainless steel containers are used, so as not to alter the freshness of the initial fruit. Golden yellow, with greenish reflections, the nose has strong aromas of honey, ripe apricot and eucalyptus. There is sweetness in the mouth, and it is well perceived. But it is certainly not a cloying wine. On the contrary, all the elements are in perfect harmony with each other, and the end result is a wine of great pleasure and enjoyment.
