glass of vino?malvasia
Malvasia is a very rich flavoured desert wine. Every Mediterranean country
has its own Malvasia and each has structural and sensory characteristics
that are different from those of all the others.
The Malvasia di Bosa is produced in various communes of the province of
Nuoro in the northwestern corner of Sardinia. The production area is centered
on Bosa, a small town dominated by the Castello di Serravalle, which was
built in the 13th century by the Marchesi di Malaspina to defend the community
from Saracen invaders.
The exceptional quality of the wine, which is intense in color, a golden
yellow, and flavor, which is full and full, is due primarily to the extended
aging it undergoes. The production discipline sets the period of aging
at two years but it is usually prolonged for as much as another year or
more.

Production - Six months after harvesting the wine is
refined in small oak casks, left for several years to remove watery residues
and favour the development of the characteristic "flower". These
enzymes transform some of the wines constituents into aromatic substances,
which refining themselves in the bottle, give the wine its characteristic
bouquet, bringing it close to the most celebrated Spanish Sherries.

fine, ethereal, very refined, intense taste, persistent afterwards.
