WINE DESCRIPTION
Kante Malvasia is a distinguished wine produced by the Kante winery, featuring 100% hand-harvested Malvasia grapes. The vineyard, situated at an average altitude of 250 meters above sea level in the Triestine Karst, boasts red soil and calcareous rock with robust drainage characteristics. Marked by a planting density of 5,500 plants per hectare and a yield of 1 kg per plant, the vineyard follows a single Guyot training system, emblematic of the winery's commitment to indigenous varietals. In the cellar, the white vinification process involves 12 months of refinement in exhausted French oak barriques, succeeded by an additional 6 months of stabilization in stainless steel, resulting in a Malvasia that beautifully reflects the winery's dedication to native grape exploration.
