Varvaglione Vigne & Vini continues to offer guidance for gastronomic journeys that enhance the flavors of each dish, pairing them with the right wine served at the proper temperature. During the summer period, it feels natural to introduce the Malvasia wine from Salento, an indigenous white wine from the Salento area, fresh and lively.
The Malvasia del Salento wine “12 e Mezzo Malvasia del Salento IGP Limited Edition” from the Salento winery Varvaglione is a truly enjoyable wine, especially during the summer period, with an intense yellow color and golden hues, born from the meeting of the Puglia sun with the Malvasia Bianca grapes of Salento.
Varvaglione Vigne & Vini, with the “12 e Mezzo Malvasia del Salento IGP Limited Edition,” offers a fresh and aromatic wine that pairs perfectly with Italian cuisine, and more broadly with Mediterranean-flavored dishes. In fact, thanks to its lively and balanced taste on the palate, the Malvasia del Salento is an ideal wine to accompany all fish and seafood dishes, as well as soft and delicate white cheeses.
On the nose, it presents aromatic and fruity notes. Freshness and balance characterize its style, with a persistent and delicate taste. It is a wine in which the lightness of the body harmonizes with good acidity, all contributing to undeniable drinkability.
Moving on to practical recommendations, to start the gastronomic journey we suggest a vegetable-based appetizer, a colorful dish such as “Millefoglie di Melanzane”, paired with the “12 e Mezzo Malvasia del Salento Limited Edition”.
The Malvasia del Salento wine, in its mealtime version, pairs excellently with various fish-based first courses, such as “grilled tuna with rosemary and sesame seeds”, prepared with red tuna, sesame seeds, sprigs of rosemary, lemon, Apulian extra virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Malvasia wine also pairs very well with after-dinner foods and desserts such as toasted almonds, figs, chestnuts, and dry pastries. We recommend it with a dessert that is both refined in taste and decidedly summery, the “lemon semifreddo”. Its main ingredients are eggs, cream, and of course plenty of melon!
Enjoy your meal from Varvaglione Vigne & Vini.
