Founded in 1868 by Antonio CarpenĖ, whose essays on winemaking were considered the go-to texts of their time, CarpenĖ Malvolti has long played an influential role in the production of quality Prosecco. This will be crisp with vibrant fruit notes and a fine mineral complexity. Accessible, food-friendly and easy to like, this will be a popular choice as an aperitif or alongside seafood appetizers. |
