Malvasia Delle Lipari DOP Caravaglio
Malvasia delle Lipari Passita DOP - Cantina Caravaglio
Historical wine of the Aeolian Islands, Malvasia delle Lipari passita by Caravaglio is a not cloying sweet dessert wine made from Malvasia delle Lipari grapes with a small percentage of Corinto Nero grapes. Tradition and innovation for this passito suitable both for closing the meal and for open it, served cold.
The traditional drying technique on cannizzi stretched out in the sun and the innovative choice of preserving the fresher aromas rather than the more caramelized ones make Caravaglio's Malvasia delle Lipari a timeless passito, sweet but not cloying, with a long and slightly savory finish.
