2023 Venica & Venica Malvasia Doc Collio

Apricot fruit, aromatic herbs, and a decidedly savory finish make Venica & Venica’s 'Pètris' a compelling detour from the usual Italian whites. Made from Malvasia Istriana grown in Friuli’s Collio district, the 2023 offers fragrant notes of sage and thyme alongside its stone fruit, with a saline, mineral character that carries through the long finish. This is a white whose appeal goes well beyond its perfume the savory side is every bit as engaging.
