BENJAMIN ZIDARICH LEHTE MALVASIA 750 ml

Discover the Benjamin Zidarich Lehte Malvasia, a standout white wine from Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. This compact area punches above its weight, nurturing rare indigenous grapes that few places can match. Among them, the Malvasia Istriana shines brightly, thriving across Friuli and into nearby Slovenia, where it reveals its true character in skilled hands.

Benjamin Zidarich stands out as a master among producers who champion these local treasures. His biodynamic approach tunes every step to the lunar calendar, from harvest to bottling. Picture grapes shaped by sunlight and soil, then transformed into wine under the moon's subtle influence—a philosophy that infuses this 750 ml bottle with 14.50% ABV of pure expression.

On the nose, expect an inviting lift of white peaches mingling with exotic oriental spices, grounded by sharp mineral edges and earthy stone. A touch of skin maceration introduces gentle tannins that cradle flavors of crisp stone fruits, whispers of savory herbs, and a persistent crush of rocky minerality on the palate. Dry at its core (sweetness level 01), it delivers a textured journey that's both refreshing and profound.

At $128.49, this Friuli-Venezia Giulia gem offers more than a sip—it's an invitation to explore a wine rooted in ancient rhythms and unique terroir. Whether pairing with seafood or simply contemplating its layers alone, the Lehte Malvasia captures the essence of a region where tradition meets cosmic precision. Elevate your collection with this varietal standout, perfect for those seeking wines that tell a story with every glass.

Handcrafted in Italy's northeastern frontier, Benjamin Zidarich's creation bridges borders and builds depth, making it a compelling choice for discerning palates ready for something extraordinary.
