"What a privilege to be Malvasia ambassador and participate in an eternal unique myth associated with adventure, travel, romance and indulgence. I dream of lavish banquets in the Renaissance, symbolizing luxury and sophistication and I believe in legends even claim that drinking Malvasia could inspire creativity and passion, making it a muse for artists and poets. Malvasia wine is above all a blend of history and myth, a storytelling wine, a celebrated choice for wine enthusiasts today.
So proud to be a member in such a unique aromatic and tasteful project rooted in Ancient Greece where it was believed to have been a favorite of the gods".
