Description
What kind of wine is it
Malvasia Dolce by Giorgi is a sparkling white wine made from Malvasia grapes in Lombardy. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet is broad and delicate, leading to a harmonious sip. On the palate, it stands out for its velvety texture and pleasantly sweet character, supported by a natural fruity liveliness. Served chilled, it is the ideal pairing for desserts and all kinds of sweets at the end of a meal.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from the Oltrepò Pavese, a historic wine-growing area in Lombardy located in the province of Pavia. The Giorgi winery has been operating in this region since 1870, enhancing the qualities of the Lombard landscape. The territory defines the aromatic identity of the grapes, guiding production towards maximum freshness. The geographical origin is fully reflected in the fragrant expression and the lively character that distinguishes this sweet wine.
How is it produced
The Malvasia grapes are hand-picked during the first ten days of September. In the winery, a gentle pressing is carried out to extract the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, while the sparkling process is conducted in a pressurised tank. The process is halted through cooling and filtration to preserve the natural residual sugar. Bottling at a young age finally ensures the preservation of the wine's liveliness and original fruit aromas.
History and Curiosities
The Malvasia Dolce by Giorgi embodies the prestigious heritage of the Oltrepò Pavese, honouring a tradition that began in 1870. The grapes, hand-picked at the beginning of September, undergo gentle pressing and controlled fermentation at 16°C in stainless steel tanks. The skilful sparkling process in autoclave ensures the original fragrances of the fruit are perfectly preserved. Bottled young, this elegant IGT white wine retains its unmistakable freshness and liveliness, offering a delicate aromatic experience.

The Giorgi family has always firmly focused on the entire production chain: from the grape to the bottle, laying the foundations from the beginning to realise their grand project of creating a significant wine company. This project became a reality as early as 1970, when the brothers, Gianfranco and Antonio, built a second winery, modern and technologically very advanced, in Canneto Pavese.
With the construction of the third winery in Camponoce, Giorgi finally achieved national consecration in the 1980s, with a sales network of 80 representatives and a presence in the best restaurants and wine shops nationwide.
Today Giorgi Vini exports to 59 countries worldwide, has more than 160 agents in Italy, and has won the most important international and national awards (Three Glasses by Gambero Rosso and Five Bunches sommelier). In addition, Giorgi proudly represents Oltrepò Pavese in Italy and the world. Read more
