Malvasia delle Lipari Passito DOC Dessert Wine 2021 - Hauner.

Malvasia delle Lipari Passito D.O.C. 2021 - Hauner

The Hauner farm, located in the beautiful Mediterranean island of Salina, bears the name of the founder Carlo Hauner, painter and designer from Brescia who landed on the island in 1963 and fell in love with it and decided to move and enjoy the wonderful views that only these uncontaminated territories could give away. His passion for wine brought him in a short time to recover and spread some vineyards, bringing the Malvasia delle Lipari natural and passive Doc, an exceptional wine, already highly appreciated in antiquity, as well as an excellent selection of white and red wines.

The Malvasia Passita is a sweet dessert wine, takes the name of the vine from which it derives, the Malvasia delle Lipari, and its exceptionality is recognized through the Doc, with a production allowed only in the archipelago of the Aeolian islands. It has become the most important wine in Hauner's production. A wine with unique and unrepeatable characteristics, to which a late harvest is added a period of 15/20 days of drying of the bunches on the traditional "cannizzi", ideal structures to leave the grapes in the sun during the day and the night sheltered in the cellar.

It presents itself with a warm amber yellow color with lively highlights, bright and transparent, a wide and very fine perfume, with fruity and spicy scents. In the mouth a velvety sweetness, a pleasant softness, supported by great sapidity.

Exceptional accompaniment for Sicilian and non-Sicilian desserts, dried pasta or Sicilian cassata. Try it also with blue cheese, seasoned or spicy with mustard or honey.

Great gift idea!
