Today is gradually making a major replanting of this grape, with the aim of improving the quality of white wines from Lazio. It is now rare to find excellent wines made exclusively from Malvasia del Lazio.
The most recognised white variations are Malvasia Bianca del Chianti, Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia delle Lipari, Malvasia di Candia, Malvasia di Sardegna and Malvasia Istiana. But much better known to us all as Malmsey! ...
The region is rich in white grapes and they represent the majority of the yield. White grapes of Latium include Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia Bianca, Malvasia Toscana, Bellone, Bombino Bianco, Greco Bianco and Trebbiano Giallo.
