Made from Malvasia Istriana grapes, it displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet offers aromas of apricot, peach, citrus notes and a honeyed touch of acacia. On the palate, it is harmonious, balancing a \u003cstrong\u003esoft and creamy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e with lively mineral freshness and a \u003cstrong\u003elong, savoury persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is ideal paired with raw shellfish, fried fish, white meats and cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from Dolegna del Collio, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region renowned for its winemaking tradition. The vineyards rest on a \u003cstrong\u003eparticularly rocky soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological feature that inspires the name Petris, derived from the Friulian word for stone. This soil imparts a pronounced and vibrant energy to the sip. \u003cstrong\u003eMalvasia Istriana\u003c\/strong\u003e has ancient roots in this region, introduced in the thirteenth century by merchants of the Republic of Venice, and found among these stones the perfect environment to develop its \u003cstrong\u003earomatic richness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter destemming, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of about twenty hours at low temperatures. To protect the wine from oxygen, special containers are used that recycle the natural carbon dioxide produced during fermentation. This is followed by a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for five months, divided between \u003cstrong\u003elarge wooden casks\u003c\/strong\u003e and steel tanks. This rigorous management allows the creation of a white wine that perfectly integrates body, elegance and gustatory energy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roots of \u003cstrong\u003eMalvasia Istriana\u003c\/strong\u003e in Friuli date back to the 13th century, when the Republic of Venice imported the grape variety from Monemvasia. Founded in 1930, the Venica \u0026amp; Venica winery interprets this centuries-old heritage in the Collio DOC with great care. The name “Petris” refers to the Friulian word for “stones”, a tribute to the \u003cstrong\u003erocky subsoil\u003c\/strong\u003e that gives the wine its unmistakable mineral liveliness.
