This delightful Italian from Canale, Italy is amazingly light. It enchants, a deep clear ruby in the glass, almost red, but bordering earth tones. This flavor is delightfully light, with brilliant vanilla cherries, whiffs of strawberries, and mulling spices. The Malvira opens to bright, full, honest red cherries in a barrel, with sage, white pepper. this wine is a candle lit cellar, earthy, friendly, and filled with a bountiful harvest of herbs, onions, and garlic, all dried and hanging in the flickering light next to the barrels of fruits. As it ages in the air, it is rich, travelled, with mushroom notes, with a taste that reveals fresh Challah bread, spiced with red currants. This is a winter wine to love!
