Malvasia del Lazio

Malvasia del Lazio is a grape that comes from Lazio (as the name tells), and it is also known as Malvasia puntinata for its spotted berries when ripe (puntini is “spots” in Italian). It is a natural crossing between Schiava Grossa and Moscato d’Alessandria, which gives a slightly aromatic character.
