Cantina Indigeno Bianco Malva 2019

Bianco Malva is a 100% Malvasia from Cantina Indigeno's organically farmed vineyards around Montorio al Vomano in the Teramo province of Abruzzo, about 8 kilometers from the Adriatic coast. The vines average 30 years old and grow on calcareous clay soils. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts, and the wine sees a brief period of skin contact that adds texture without pushing it into orange wine territory.

The wine is unfined, unfiltered, and made without temperature control. No sulfur or other additions are used. Cantina Indigeno keeps alcohol deliberately low across their range, and this Malvasia comes in under 12% ABV, preserving freshness and drinkability over weight.

Malvasia is a naturally aromatic variety, and in this minimal-intervention style the grape's character comes through directly: stone fruit, ripe pineapple, and a hint of dried herbs on the nose, with a soft, slightly round texture on the palate and a clean, lightly saline finish. The brief skin contact contributes grip without tannin that dominates.
