Coronica Ottaviano 2021

Coronica vineyards and vines are growing in the red Istrian soil, and, as far as nature allows, the highest possible quality grapes of Istrian indigenous varieties – predominantly Istrian Malvasia and Teran. Depending on the production method and ageing, at Coronica winery two Istrian Malvasia are produced, a fresh-style and an aged Malvasia Istriana, each of which reflects best the features of this white variety. Their pride among the red wines is Gran Teran, a wine of an authentic Istrian character produced from an indigenous Istrian red variety.

Coronica Ottaviano is the modern reproduction of the Malvasia that father Ottaviano knew and made. The drinkability that we expect from Malvasia is there. But there is also complexity, a progression on the palate that opens up new and new layers… an intense herbal moment, tea, anise, and vinousness that ends with a soft salinity in the aftertaste. Ottaviano Malvazija is very delicate but also firm, with sharp and persistent minerality in the mouth. It is also unexpectedly elegant and refreshing for a Malvasia of pronounced maturity. Notes of ripe quince and spicy notes linger on the nose, with mild bitterness, salinity and a kind of rusticity of traditional and domestic, delicately macerated wines leave impression in the mouth.
