Malvasia Valmasia DOC TUNELLA

This VALMASIA Malvasia from the Friulian winery Tunella is made from 100% Malvasia grapes, grown on the gentle hills of Eastern Friuli on soils rich in marl and sandstone. The grapes are harvested by hand during the second week of September: the bunches are picked once they have reached the right degree of ripeness. This is followed by soft pressing and cold settling of the must: yeasts are then added to the must to initiate fermentation, which lasts for around 30–40 days. The wine is then matured through a series of bâtonnages, resulting in a complex and structured wine.
