Malvasia delle Lipari DOC
95% Malvasia and 5% Corinto Nero. Hauner Malvasia delle Lipari DOC is golden in color with an incredibly aromatic nose of ripe apricots, figs, dates, lavender and almonds, confirmed on a sweet yet fresh palate showing distinct depth and persistence.
“At Hauner we believe that, given the amazing soils, unique landscapes, and fantastic grapes of the Aeolian Islands, we are honor-bound to create wines worthy of such fruit.”
