Information & Character In line with their profession, they work with the vinification of Malvasia as a wine for aging. In the three years from 1999 to 2001, Gaetano produced a still Malvasia, aged in tonneaux, of which they still carefully preserve some bottles today. An unreal youth distinguishes these white wines with their great personality. Over time, the aromatic notes of Malvasia have refined, giving a complexity that is impossible to find in youth. In 2018, Nicola returned to produce this label, aware of the potential of this vine. Light aromatic aromas of apricot, pear and acacia honey. Acidic and juicy on the palate, characterized by yellow stone fruit, cream, citrus and garden herbs.

Production Spontaneous fermentation with domestic yeasts in oak barrels and then aged for 12 months in oak barrels and then 12 months in bottle.

Soil Lime and clay-rich soil and to some extent sand.

Perfect for hard cheeses and fish.

About the Producer

The Solenghi winery was born in 1983 from Gaetano's idea. Bored with office life, he decided to dedicate himself to working on a small vineyard, only expanded to one hectare, owned by his aunt Maria Teresa. Gaetano began working under the guidance of Celsino, an old farmer born in 1920 who previously managed the vineyard. From him, Gaetano learned the farming skills that the vineyards still use today. Respect for nature, which today means environmental sustainability Gaetano courageously rejected the dominant economic model based on maximum yield and gave up tillage, fertilization and the use of chemistry.
