	Malvasia
		Usually thought of as a white vine, Malvasia is in fact a family of related subvarieties whose grapes may range in color from red to pale green, each of which typically adopts a place-name, as in Malvasia di Toscana, or a characteristic, as in Malvasia Fina.
		Malvasia is as versatile as its family members are numerous.
		Malvasia stands on its own in eleven different Italian D.O.C. wines, both dry and “passito,” in which the grapes are dried to the semi-raisin state before being vinified as a sweet wine.

	Anne Summerscale: Malvasia's Life of the Carracci
		Malvasia, a law professor and a literary man, was brilliant, innovative, and contentious.
		Although Malvasia's "Life of the Carracci" is widely cited, this is the first translation in any language and the first to offer an extended critical and historical commentary.
		Malvasia's own life is discussed, and his triple biography of the Carracci is situated within the intellectual and literary currents to which he responded.

	Malvasia
		The Greek name of Malvasia, Monemvassia is in itself a description of the fortress as it means one entrance because there is only one access to the fortress.
		Malvasia was made of two parts: Borgo on a little terrace at the foot of the rock and Castello on the relatively flat space on its top.
		During the first Venetian occupation Malvasia was an important trade center and Borgo had fine houses and churches (the image used as a background for this page shows a Venetian relief in Borgo).

	Malvasia Nera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Origin: Malvasia (corrupted by the French to "Malvoisie," the English to "Malmsey" and the Germans to "Malvasier") is the name widely used for a complex set of grape varieties, typically ancient and of Greek in origin and producing wines high in alcohol and often, residual sugar.
		Malvasia is the Italian corruption of Monemvasia, the southern Greek port which, in the middle ages, was famous for its desert wines.
		Malvasia Nera is also often used as a 10% blending grape with Sangiovese when making Chianti as the softness of the grape accelerates approachability of the wine.

	Malvasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Malvasia (also known as Malvazia or Malmsey) is a group of wine grape varieties grown in Italy (including Sicily, Lipari, and Sardinia), Slovenia, Croatia, Corsica, the Iberian Peninsula, the Canary Islands, the island of Madeira, California, Australia and Brazil.
		Presently, however, "Malvasia" generally refers to unfortified white table or desert wines produced from this grape, while "Malmsey" refers to a sweet variety of Madeira wine, though the latter are also sometimes called "Malvasia" or "Malvazia".
		The name "Malvasia" is generally thought to derive from Monemvasia, a Venetian fortress on the coast of Laconia, known in Italian as "Malvasia"; this port would have acted as a trading centre for wine produced in the eastern Peloponnese and perhaps in some of the Cyclades.

		Origin: A member of an ancient highly esteemed Greek family of grapes vinified in a myriad of styles throughout Italy, Malvasia Bianca is one of the most widely planted, light-colored grape varieties in Italy and the world.
		Non-fortified Malvasia Bianca should be consumed young in its life, usually within a year or two of the vintage while Vin Santo renditions can last for over thirty years and are often enjoyed at retirement.
		Food Pairings: Lighter versions of Malvasia Bianca typically pair well with seafood antipasto dishes (shrimp, scallops and calamari dressed with oil and lemon) and grilled vegetables while grilled fish with light Provencal-style sauces are more appropriate for the fuller wines.
