About Malvasia Istriana
As the name ‘Istriana’ suggests this variety hails from the Istrian Peninsula in north eastern Italy and Western Croatia.  Malvasia is a varietal family whose fruit produces fresh, aromatic and smooth wines which can be quite alcoholic and sometimes sweet.   Istriana, a white grape clone, is the most important of the Malvasia family contributing to the production of eleven different DOC wines in Italy, mainly Friuli.
