Coming from the archipelago of the Aeolian Islands (or Lipari), in the province of Messina, off the coast of Sicily, Malvasia delle Lipari is a wine whose production is the prerogative of a niche of local wineries.
Among these realities there is that of the Colosi family, specialized in the production of typical wines of the Sicilian territory and the exclusive wines of the Aeolian tradition. Its Malvasia delle Lipari D.O.C. Naturale di Salina 2016 is the protagonist of our review. [READ ALL]
