An ode to the wines of the Northern Rhone

Cincinnato 'Puntinata' Malvasia Lazio IGT, 2019 sour sour buckwheat and brown rice contributeThis wine is made of 100% Malvasia. This specific heirloom cultivar is known locally as Malvasia Puntinata, for the black speckling that distinguishes the ripening grapes. It is a delicious, textural, and aromatic wine with notes of honey, chamomile, and white peach. We would pair it with sweet potato gnocchi and a sage butter sauce.
