Malvasia del Lazio

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms include Malvasia col Puntino, Malvasia Gentile, Malvasia Nostrale and Malvasia Puntinata.

Malvasia del Lazio - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

It is one of the many varieties with the Malvasia part of the name (see there). The parentage is unknown. It should not be confused with the varieties Malvasia Bianca di Candia, Malvasia di Lipari or Malvasia Bianca di Piemonte due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.

Characteristics

The late-maturing, moderately high-yielding vine is susceptible to both types of mildew and botrytis (grey rot). The berries have small dots typical of the variety (punti = dot, to which the name part "puntinata" refers) and a subtle muscat flavour. It produces rather simple floral and fruity white wines with aromas of exotic fruits, which are also suitable for sweet wines. These are mostly used as blends.

Sigi Hiss

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
