Rubigalia Spumante
Malvasia di Candia

In ancient Rome the Rubigalie were festivals organized to ask the ancient goddess Rubigo a blessing on the vineyards during the harvest. And it is precisely for moments of celebration that this aromatic Malvasia di Candia sparkling wine is created, an aromatic sparkling white wine with low alcohol content. The view is characterised by the intense golden yellow reflections and the very fine perlage. To the nose, the aromas of Sicilian citrus fruits stand out forcefully followed by a floral bouquet that promises a drink with an exuberant but never cloying sweetness well balanced by the acidity which will lead to a surprising finish, given by a pleasant aftertaste of wildflower honey on the palate of those who drink it.
