Tenute Cadorin Le Favole, Vigneti Bosco Bando, Malvasia, Italy
This dry white wine from northern Italy went very well with lobster. Not my usual start to a review but it did go very well.
There are aromas and flavours of pineapple and citrus with light oaky notes. Its a reasonably bold wine with good acidity levels, flavours are well balanced and great with seafood.
Its a very good italian white wine.
Made with 3 different grapes, Trebbiano 40%, Malvasia 40%, Grechetto 20% this is not you average white wine people would buy, unless you go for Italian wine. Consumers often buy single varietal grape wine but there are some interesting wines out there. The first time you pour the wine the deep gold colour stands out. There are flora aromas and also ripe peach, the flavours are mineral, pear and citrus but the main elements that stands out is the length and high alcohol. 14% is high and you do notice it. This is a Tuscan white with quite a bit. To much for the cat!
