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.
