The Story

Malvasia is a grape variety with a unique history. Its name derives from the contraction of the name of the Greek city of “Monemvasia” located in the Peloponnese and means “a single door”, as the port of access to the fortress had only one entrance. The name Monemvasia was Italianized to “Malvasia” by the Venetians who began importing it between 1500 and 1700. Thanks to them, Malvasia spread throughout the Mediterranean area where, following cross-breeding with local vines, it gave rise to various vines named Malvasia (Istriana del Lazio, di Bosa delle Lipari and others). In this regard, the ampelographer Di Rovasenda (1824-1913), wrote “[…] only those perfumed grapes that have the flavor of Muscat should be called Malvasia […] However, there are too many grapes with a simple flavor called Malvasia […] a name that they carry unduly”.
