Details
Clean, crisp, and quietly confident - this Malvasia opens with zesty grapefruit and lemon peel, mellow yellow apple, and just a whisper of creaminess. The nose stays subtle and elegant, with hints of beeswax, hay, and a mineral edge that keeps things grounded. On the palate, it’s all about that perfect balance: high acid, a silky texture, and delicate floral notes that dance around the citrus core. It’s polished, poised, and finishes long and bright - like golden hour in a glass.
Nestled in the verdant hills in the east of Friuli, Le Celline is all about celebrating Italy’s best-kept wine secrets. This small, family-run estate leans into the traditions of their home turf — think native grapes, hands-on farming, and a love for the land that runs deep. Here, it’s less about chasing trends and more about bottling the true spirit of Friuli: fresh, vibrant, and fiercely authentic. Local varieties, harvested by hand and made with care. Le Celline shines by championing local varieties like Refosco and Friulano, crafting wines that feel like a lively conversation around a family table. With a focus on sustainable practices and low-intervention winemaking, they let the fruit (and the region’s magic) do all the talking. The result? Wines that are refreshingly real, gorgeously food-friendly, and packed with personality.
