A soft nose with tender acacia and easy, very mild oxidation of Malvasia wine, wine that breathes different than the rest. Different than other dominant styles, Dimitri Brečević always strives to show the true character of Malvasia Istriana.
The material, specifically the grapes that can still be clearly felt, surpasses the 2014 expectations. Although a fruity Malvasia 2014 is being sipped for a while, the acidity still needs some time to fully integrate, so the current harvest is still green and raw compared to 2013. But headed in the same direction.
2013 brings a calm face of Malvasia, raised by Dimitri Brečević. The extract is strong and carried very strongly on the palate. It is simply wonderful to make one ask himself why all Malvasias aren’t made this way? Naturally, the zingy mineralogy of Piquentum Blanc is something that cannot be copied.
If I had to choose one Malvasia to offer to aliens as the most striking example of white Istria, it would not be the clean and green cult of young Malvasia, nor one aged in oak or acacia or the macerated, orange Malvasia. I would ponder the harvest of Malvasia by Palčić, Roxanich and especially, Piquentum Blanc…
