Coronica CO Due Extra Brut

Tasting Notes: "A pure malvazija (malvasia Istriana) made in the traditional method and aged 36 months on lees, this pours a medium straw colour though the nose remains tight and taut, more floral and herbal than fruity, indeed quite tonic and appealing, subtle, a wine you'll have to go searching for. I love the sapidity and salinity on the palate - there's a real saltiness here, you could say minerality, but in any case you'll be drawn back for another sip. While this may be well out of the classic sparkling wine circuit, I'd have to say this would be worth a small detour into a lovely and crunchy, dry quality sparkling wine.
