Ivica Matošević Alba Malvazija Istriana 2010
Alba is a fresh and elegant wine with fine structure, savoury, attractive fruit aromas, pronounced minerality, and a hint of bitter almond aftertaste.
It is a wonderful wine for autumn and winter and has unusual longevity for its style. Ageing in the bottle brings more herbal and floral notes to the fore. Mostly because of its minerality and bitter almond aftertaste, this wine is great with food as well as being a fine wine to drink on its own.
