The Ideal Glass for Malvasia Dry
|
A Small Tulip Shaped glass consentrates the flavors (nutty, chocolatey, fruity) near the rim for enhanced aroma enjoyment. The narrow opening helps to capture rich and deep aromas, making each sip more flavorful. Malvasia Dry is usually served slightly chilled. A stemmed glass maintains the optimal temperature by preventing your hand from warming the wine. |
Malvasia Dry Cheese Pairing
Malvasia Dry pairs very well with rich blue cheeses, but can also be enjoyed with aged and matured cheeses.
The flavours of a salty cheese and a sweet Malvasia Dry are both strong enough to stand up to each other.
