A TOAST TO VENICE
The History of Wine
and an Exclusive Malvasia Tasting
THE EXPERIENCE
A flavorful experience into the discovery of the fascinating history of wine in Venice, its rituals, incredible journeys and meeting places.
Historically, Venice was deeply and intimately linked to Malvasia, the precious wine of the East, and played a key role in transforming it into a noble merchandise in the area of the Mediterranean.
Malvasia is a complex and broad name that identifies several varieties of vines and has culturally contributed to spreading the wine and gastronomic culture of our territory.
Venice gave birth to the first enogastronomic brand: Malvasia - a strategic and extraordinary operation, which made these precious wines from the East real status symbols, wines desired, loved, coveted and sought after by all the nobles and the most important European courts of the time.
Today there are 19 vines registered in the Italian National Register of Vine Varieties belonging to the Malvasia group, some of which share common characteristics and aromas, while others originate from different biotypes or clones.
Knowing Malvasia means traveling through Italy and discovering the extraordinary culture of the Mediterranean; I will introduce you to the history and the flavor of very rare Italian Malvasia wines, all so authentic, intense and meaningful.
