The Naturale style is a lighter, fresher take on Malvasia delle Lipari: less concentrated than the Passito but showing the grape's characteristic floral-apricot aromatics and the volcanic salinity of the Aeolian Islands in a more immediately approachable register.

History
Hauner's Naturale is the lighter, fresher expression of the Malvasia delle Lipari range, using grapes with a shorter or lighter drying period than the Passito. It provides a more everyday entry into the Aeolian sweet wine tradition, capturing the floral character of Malvasia di Lipari without the full concentration of the Passito.
- 1979: Malvasia delle Lipari DOC established; Naturale style recognised alongside Passito and Liquoroso
