Giramondo Malvasia 100% PGI

100% Malvasia, aromatic grape variety – calm but with character, never completely tamed

A white wine with a rebellious soul, where the intense aroma of Malvasia meets the elegance of measure

The Globetrotter of L'Acino

Giramondo is a white wine made from 100% Malvasia grapes, the aromatic varietal par excellence. It's a calm yet distinctive white: not overly exuberant and wild, yet still rebellious, capable of surprising with its unmistakable personality. Spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, the absence of fining or filtration, and nine months of aging in stainless steel fully preserve its authenticity and aromatic expressiveness. It is grown on the windswept hills of San Marco Argentano, suspended between the sea and the mountains, using natural farming methods that put the land at the center. A vibrant and captivating white, a faithful expression of a rural Calabria that has never given up.
 
 
 

The roots of this Malvasia lie in a long Mediterranean journey

Malvasia is one of the Mediterranean's oldest and most fascinating grape varieties, its very name evoking a journey: it derives from Monemvasia, an ancient Greek port in the Peloponnese from which these wines were exported throughout Europe as early as the Middle Ages. Precisely because of its traveled and widespread nature, the name "Giramondo" (World Traveler) celebrates its nomadic and cosmopolitan spirit. Brought to Calabria by maritime trade and the Hellenic culture of Magna Graecia, Malvasia found in these lands an ideal habitat to express its renowned aromatics. The grape preserves its millennia-old heritage with a natural vinification process that allows the grape to express itself without forcing.
 
 
 

Choosing the Globetrotter means taking care of yourself

A wine produced through spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, without fining or filtration, represents a conscious choice for a more natural and authentic drinking experience. The absence of invasive interventions preserves the integrity of the product and its original characteristics. Consumed in moderation, white wine provides polyphenols with antioxidant properties. Artisanal production and a connection to a nature-centered agriculture guarantee a vibrant and authentic product. Choosing a wine made with natural methods also means supporting sustainable and respectful agricultural practices, as well as enhancing the biodiversity of an aromatic grape variety with an ancient history.
