TENUTA MALAVASI

Malavasi’s production philosophy is that of an ever-increasing quality of the wines, in compliance with the principles of eco-sustainability and eco-compatibility. For 4 generations, the Malavasi family has made agriculture their choice of life, carving out, over time, an increasingly important role for wine.

Since the nineteenth century, during the first period of the industrial revolution, great-grandfather Tita had been producing wine, mainly used as payment in kind to the 50 families who worked for him in the company fund. In the following years, viticulture acquired an increasingly important role to the point that wine became a selling product.

There are many family anecdotes that have wine as the protagonist, such as the one where grandfather Callisto, after pressing, used to throw stalks into the well to "flavor" the water. Brotherhood, respect, and solidarity have made Malavasi an extraordinary family. The Settlers and laborers, at first, then the suppliers and customers, have found themselves in this special network made out of relationships and values of the past that have overwhelmed and conquered them. Tales that still fade into legends today.

The products from Malavasi winery are made with the intent to excite and stimulate all 5 senses, in complete harmony with the unique characteristics of a territory suited for viticulture, due to its limestone-clay soil, which gives minerality to the wine, and a climate influenced by the proximity of the lake, which allows greater temperature variations, thus enhancing the aromas. The final result is amplified by human ingenuity, which, thanks to experience and the most modern research technologies, re-proposes in the vines grown in these vineyards all the potential of a generous territory with a thousand resources.

The company currently covers 10 hectares of vineyards, distributed between Desenzano and Pozzolengo. It is in this latter location that the winery and warehouses are located.

From selected grapes of the best vintages, 8 different labels/wines were created, thanks to the enological art, combined with ancient tradition and modern technology. Wines of character, an authentic expression of this unique and highly prestigious terroir.
