Interesting wine. Have had Palmina's malvasia bianca, but never a sparkling version. Very floral nose, maybe a hint of petrol (but I'm having a tough time nailing it down). Level of carbonation is less than what you find for a champagne or even a prosecco (really interesting contrast with the latter, by the way). Seems to have a trace of residual sugar, but not so much to make it cloying (but that changes if it warms up too much). Good choice as an appertif or with cheeses.
