G. Battista Columbu
Riserva Malvasia di Bosa
Bright amber-gold. Dried apricot, orange marmalade, aromatic herbs and a hint of mirabelle eau de vie on the nose; there’s just a hint of oxidation. Densely packed, saline and thick, but without any impression of heaviness. Fresh herbal and saline flavors are lifted by noteworthy acidity. The long, suave finish shows a youthful character that hints at this wine’s great longevity. Experience tells me this wine will age and improve magnificently over another 10 years or so. Another bottle I opened was less interesting. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, March 2018)

Mar 9th, 2018A wine like I've never had. From sardegna , a late harvest Malvasia saline, mineral, amontillado-Esque but with the freshness of brown pear and nuttiness of hazlenut, almond and praline. 16% alc/vol

Apr 15th, 2016Now this is different. Like a variation of an amontillado sherry. Bosc pear, bitter almonds, hazelnut and herbs. Dry.
