The Malvasia dello Scarparo di Collecapretta is a complex white wine obtained from the homonymous grapes coming from an old vineyard owned some time ago by Scarparo di Terzo la Pieve. The vineyard is located at an altitude of about 500 meters on soils that are a mixture of clay rich in calcium and iron with tufa and travertine limestone outcrops.
