In the glass
Aroma: honeysuckle, white pepper, candied orange peel, almond, hay

What it pairs with
-
Pork loin with sage
Honeysuckle and white pepper aromatics echo the herb; medium body handles the pork fat. -
Asian noodle dishes
Malvasia's aromatic profile handles ginger and lemongrass; saline finish refreshes between bites. -
Aged Pecorino Sardo
Sheep's-milk crystal salt mirrors the saline finish; orange peel notes lift the cheese tang.
History
Manferrari's Malvasia Istriana, part of Borgo del Tiglio's classical Collio range alongside Friulano. The estate's commitment to longer lees ageing distinguishes the bottle from typical Collio Malvasia.
