Zidarich’s Malvazija comes from limestone terraces in Friuli’s Carso region, where Benjamin Zidarich farms organically and works entirely with native yeasts. The 2020 undergoes extended skin contact and ages in large Slavonian oak, yielding a complex, savory wine with firm structure and vibrant minerality.

This is a profound take on Malvasia Istriana, reflecting Carso’s stark, windswept landscape. A textured, deeply expressive white that rewards adventurous palates.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

The Malvasia is the more gregarious, talkative, eager younger brother to the more inward and contemplative Vitovska, yet both express the powerfully stony essence of the Carso in their own delicious way. The wine presents notes of crunchy mango, white pepper, and lemon verbena, with a subtle honey undertone emerging on the driving, mineral-drenched finish. Even after a decade, the wine will offer amazing depth and freshness, proving that its relative youthful exuberance does not preclude an equally impressive age-ability.

Tasting Profile
