Edi Kante, Corso, Malvasia, Friuli 2022

Malvasia Istriana’s trademark notes of white pepper and aromatic herbs take a back seat to the purity and precision conferred by its cool, stony terroir. A blend of crusted stone and lime zest evolve to show a core of vivid nectarine, alongside subtle hints of orange blossom, a whisper of lemon oil, and a creamy note punctuated by truly mouth-watering salinity. This wine is designed for simply prepared seafood, but you’ll have trouble finding a better partner for warm Castelvetrano olives marinated with citrus zest and herbs.
