Malvasia 2019 - Damijan Podversic

Malvasia - Damijan Podversic

Damija Podversic's Malvasia is an elegant and complex wine produced with Malvasia Istriana grapes from the Gradiscutta vineyard. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in truncated cone-shaped oak vats with long maceration on the skins for 60-90 days. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in large barrels for 23 months and rests in bottles for 6 months before sale. The Malvasia di Podversic is golden yellow tending to amber. On the nose, fragrant aromas of candied fruit, honey and mineral notes. On the palate it is soft, aromatic, savory with a long and pleasant finish.

Service

It is advisable to serve Malvasia at a temperature of 15 ° in balloon goblets. Wine to drink immediately but leave a few years in the cellar can give great emotions. The sediments contained in the wine bottle retain it and protect it.

Pairing

Ideal with fish dishes, great with a roasted turbot with herbs.

Cellar: Damijan Podversic

Damijan Podversic began his work as a winemaker cultivating a small vineyard of half a hectare used for Chardonnay, which belonged to his grandfather, and above all by listening to his master's advice: Josko Gravner. Damijan begins to purchase 6 hectares of old vineyards on Mount Calvario, planted with Ribolla Yellow, Malvasia, Tocai, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and manages 2 hectares of Gradiscutta planted in Chardonnay, Malvasia and Tocai, and one hectare and a half To Piedimonte with Tocai, Chardonnay and Malvasia. Damijan is absolutely rigorous in all phases of production from the vineyard to the cellar; In the vineyards practice the biological techniques and decide the harvest time, walk through the vineyards by tasting the peel and the seed, in fact the substances needed to make a good wine are between these two elements. If the grapes are not ready, they will not harvest even knowing they will lose part of their production. Even in the cellar, all stages of the work are characterized by lunar phases, spontaneous fermentations, indigenous yeasts, macerations on the skins even for white wines. The Damijan Podversic wines are authentic, original and you will always hear fruit of all kinds, from peach to citrus fruit to fresh herbs.
