Discover the grape variety: Malvoisie de Toscane
It was cultivated in ancient times and is believed to be of Greek origin. In Italy, associated with Trebbiano Toscano, it was used to produce the famous Chianti: these two white varieties are no longer part of the vineyard. In France, Tuscan Malvasia is practically unknown. It should be noted that many grape varieties have "malvasia" as a synonym, so confusion between them is always possible.

The wine region of Vin de Pays
Vin de Pays (VDP), the French national equivalent of PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) at the European level, is a quality category of French wines, positioned between Vin de Table (VDT) and Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). This layer of the French appellation system was initially introduced in September 1968 by the INAO, the official appellation authority. It underwent several early revisions in the 1970s, followed by substantial changes in September 2000 and again in 2009, when all existing VDT titles were automatically registered with the European Union as PGI. Producers retain the choice of using either the VDP or PGI titles on their labels, or both - in the form "IGP-Vin de Pays".
The wine region of Pays d'Oc
Pays d'Oc is the PGI for red, white and rosé wines that are produced over a wide area of the southern coast of France. The PGI catchment area corresponds roughly to the Languedoc-roussillon">Languedoc-Roussillon wine region, one of the largest wine regions in France. The area covers all wines that are not produced under the strict laws that govern AOC-level appellations in the regions: among them, Corbières, Minervois and the Languedoc appellation itself. The Pays d'Oc PGI is arguably the most important in France, producing the majority of the country's PGI wines.
The word of the wine: Fleshy
Said of a wine that gives the impression of being dense and smooth, a bit like biting into the flesh of a ripe fruit.
