Although there is some controversy over where the grape originated from and who its ancestors were, it was mostly grown in Greece. The name Malvasia is Italian with the historical importance of the grape becoming evident in Venice wine shops. During the Venetian Republic, Malvasia was called Valvasie. Malvasia is planted all over the world, but performs best when it has good sun exposure and soil drainage. The majority of Malvasia varieties are related to Malvasia Bianca with the notable exception of Malvasia di Candia, this is a distinctly different sub-variety of grapes that are grown throughout Italy, the San Joaquin Valley in California, The Greek Islands of Paros and Syros, and Rioja and Navarra in the Canary Islands. Throughout central Italy, Malvasia is blended with Trevviano. This adds texture and flavor to the wine. In Tioja it is blended with Viura. Known under different synonyms which include Malvasier in Germany and Malvazia in the Eastern part of Europe, the French grape varieties are sometimes referred to as Malvoisie, but are in no way related to the grape of the same name. Other sub-varieties of the grape include Uva Greca, Rojal, Subirat, Blanquirroja, Blancarroga, Tobia, Cagazal, and Blanca-Rioja.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rinaldi-red-dream-nv","title":"Rinaldi Red Dream NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eRinaldi Red Dream is made from 100% Malvasia this wine is obtained with a cold maceration (13 C) for 48 hours. We work in this way just to extract the and the wine scent from the peels. Then we soft press the grapes and we separate the solid part from the liquid part and we have the juice. Then we keep the wine at 0 degree Celcius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature and we have a natural cleaning of the must. When we decide to bottle it the temperature increased at about 17 degrees Celcius, and when we reach 5.5% Alcohol by Volume and the desired atmospheric pressure is obtained, about 2 atmospheres, we block the fermentation with the cold and we filter it again and finally, we put it in bottle. The wine is ruby red but not too deep, fruity and pleasant. It's a dessert wine, it is possible to appreciate it at his best if you serve it chilled. This frothy and fruity red wine delivers flavors of honeysuckle and black pepper. Light, fun and exciting its great for parties and light fare. 100 % Malvasia Nera. The non-vintage Rinaldi Red Dream, which comes from 100% Malvasia Nera, has about 7% alcohol, so it is slightly more potent than its two siblings. Gorgeously fresh and frothy, with loads of cherry, honeysuckle, spice box and spring flowers, this is an exciting party wine that is brilliantly packaged, and I doubt a person can be found who would dislike it. However, these wines are meant to be drunk in their exuberant youth, so this one as well as the following two efforts should be consumed over the next 6-12 months. - Wine Advocate (Issue 201, June 2012), 90 This Wine is a bit heavier than a bracchetto, but it shares the sweetness, effervescence and low alcohol that make it a delicious dessert wine.
