DESCRIPTION OF MALVASIA VIGNA 80 YEARS
Malvasia "Vigna 80 Anni", produced by the Friulian winery I Clivi, is a white with great personality and aromatic intensity, produced from old Istrian Malvasia vines that produce grapes of excellent quality. This particular Istrian clone, of one of the oldest Mediterranean grape varieties, is less aromatic and with a fresher and more savory character than the classic Malvasia di Candia grown in other areas of Italy. It is a typically territorial wine, which brings to the fore the mineral character of the soils of this small corner of Friuli, characterized by the famous ponca. Solar and Mediterranean, it is a white with pleasantly rich aromas, which give the emotion of an unforgettable sip.

The “Vigna 80 Anni” is one of the most famous wines of the I Clivi winery. The estate covers a total of about a dozen hectares, divided into two plots: one is located in the Collio in Brazzano di Cormons and the other in the Colli Orientali in Corno di Rosazzo. The vines are grown in a hilly area, at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level and can enjoy optimal conditions for viticulture. The cool and sunny climate is almost Mediterranean and the soils made up of flysch are draining and rich in precious minerals for the subsistence of the vine. If we add to this the age of the vines, which exceeds 80 years, we understand that we are faced with a true excellence of the territory. One of those white wines with a strong character and a strong personality.

The Malvasia "Vigna 80 Years" wine produced by I Clivi is a label that represents the excellence of Friulian whites, which have always been famous for their intensity, aromatic richness and longevity. The grapes are pressed into whole bunches and the free-run must, after static decanting, ferments spontaneously in steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Before bottling, the wine rests 12 months in steel tanks on the fine lees. In the glass it has a bright straw yellow color. The nose opens on aromas of wild flowers, chamomile, citrus aromas, yellow fruit and mineral sensations. The sip is dynamic, aromatically deep and accompanied by a clear mineral vein, which leads to a savory and very fresh finish.
