Wines made from Malvoisie de Lipari grapes of France
Discover the best wines made with Malvoisie de Lipari as a single variety or as a blend of France.
A very old vine, said to have originated in Greece. It is found in Spain, including the Canary Islands, in Portugal, including Madeira, in Croatia, etc., and is virtually unknown in France. It should be noted that many varieties have the synonym "malvasia" and therefore confusion between them is always possible, such as vermentino or tourbat with the Malvasia of Lipari, whose grapes are however quite different. - Synonyms: malvasia fina, malvasia de Sitges, malvasia grossa, malvasio dubrovcka, greco di Gerace (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!)
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
