Meet ELEKTRA
The Malvasia Moscata

Our new entry! 100% Malvasia Moscata grapes, a variety almost extinct, found only in Piemonte. Valdisole took some of the few remaining old vineyards and created a pure wine, Elektra. The only Malvasia Moscata vinified in a completely natural way.

Learn More about ELEKTRA

ELEKTRA

The name derives from the greek term ήλεκτρον (elektron, "amber"), meaning "brilliant", "shining" and "amber". Electricity and other words we use every day originate from the same root. And in fact, Elektra is an amber, electric wine, produced entirely by Malvasia Moscata, a clone of Malvasia, found only in Piedmont. Valdisole started working with this variety in 2018 with very promising results following two winemaking styles. The variety is now abandoned in Piedmont, due to the more limited production with respect to Moscato White.

ELEKTRA IN AMPHORAE

Only the best grapes from the old vines make it in this selection; chosen one by one the grapes are washed with sea water, then softly squeezed, and finally left to macerate with the skins in an amphorae. No sulphites or any other substance is added. This wine is the only wine made by Kyriaki.

ELEKTRA IN WOOD

The rest of the production is placed in acacia barrels where it stays with the skins for at least five months. Then, it's bottled and aged for at least six months with a minimum addition of sulphites in the bottling phase.

Malvasia Moscata is a spring bouquet in your glass. This amber golden wine offers a heady perfume of fresh white flowers but also aromatic herbs.  Aromatic, and at the same time, acid and well-structured.
