Colbotto Malvasia and Mantonico 

The refermented white wine from Le Quattro Volte: 80% Malvasia and 20% Mantonico from early harvest, ancestral bubbles and golden color

Tropical fruit, citrus, and a lively vibrancy that never fades: the sparkling white that transforms every occasion into a celebration.

The Colbotto Malvasia and Mantonico of Le Quattro Volte

Colbotto Bianco is a Calabrian refermented wine boasting a delightful effervescence and a fresh, lively flavor: a blend of 80% Malvasia and 20% Mantonico, harvested early, aged in stainless steel and refermented in the bottle according to the ancestral method. In the glass, it displays a splendid golden color and floral notes that showcase the best of the Malvasia grape, a native Mediterranean varietal known for its distinctive aroma and flavor profile. On the palate, it offers a balance of acidity and sweetness, with tropical fruit and citrus flavors that linger into the finish, while the bubbles lend a pleasant liveliness: the perfect accompaniment for any occasion, especially as an aperitif.
 
 
 

The roots of this Colbotto are deep in tradition

Malvasia carries a thousand-year-old journey in its name: it derives from Monemvasia, the Greek fortress in the Peloponnese from which Venetian ships shipped the most famous wine of the Middle Ages. "Malvasia wine" so conquered Europe that in Venice even the taverns took the name "malvasie," and the grape variety took root in every corner of the Mediterranean—including Calabria, where it found a second home. In Colbotto, this illustrious traveler encounters Mantonico, the ancient Ionian white, and the bottle-fermentation of the sparkling peasants: three Mediterranean stories that toast together.
