Undoubtedly, this is the best and most important wine of Colli di Parma. It is made from Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes (85-100%) with the permitted addition of Moscato Bianco grapes (0-15%).
Colli di Parma Malvasia DOC has a more or less intense straw yellow color and an appealing, aromatic and characteristic scent. Although the taste ranges from dry to sweet, it is always balanced.
A barrel-aged Colli di Parma Malvasia Riserva DOC, a light sparkling Frizzante and a sparkling Spumante type is also available. The latter is either produced through the Metodo Classico or through the Charmat method. The characteristics of the Spumante type are the same as for the other types, except that it, of course, has fine, attractive foam and persistent bubbles.
The dry Colli di Parma Malvasia DOC is best served with fish or as an aperitif, while the sweet one is a great accompaniment of desserts.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
The Molise region has historically been so neglected that you can hardly find the origin of its name, beyond that it's believed to have originated from the Middle Ages, where a Normann family, the Moulins, owned large portions of the area as a county.
