Frederick Stevenson Morbinos Malvasia Bianca 2020
Regular price $42.00
Morbinos -> crazy (in a lively and fun sense) in Friulano direct of Italian.
A blend of malvasia istriana (46%), malvasia bianca (39%) and vermentino (15%) spending 4-5 days on skins.
Passionfruit, green mango, exotic spices, scotch finger biscuits (buttery dough), lemon curd, nougat & citrus oil. Oily upfront, into sweeter fruit, w spiced tannin and fresh / race acid. Textural w a nice long finish.
Malvasia bianca brings the racey acid and sweet tropical fruit spectrum. A loud guy at the party. Malvasia istriana is a bit more of a wall flower, takes a fair bit longer to get to know, but is interesting and layered. - Steve Crawford, wine maker
