Valle 2024 is always youthful in style, consisting mainly of Malvasia Istarska with minor part of Sauvignon Blanc. Former is giving body and texture to the blend and the latter brings vibrancy, freshness and aromatic complexity.
Valle 2024 shows pale lemon color. It is youthful on the nose, as expected, quite rich for an otherwise fresher style, opulent demonstrating a warm 2024 vintage. A contrast to 2023. We can find layers of ripe tropical fruits such as mango, banana, but also peach, melon, apricot and some yeasty touch. Very fruity with touch of green grass, and herbaceous notes at the back, coming from a dash of Sauvignon Blanc.
It is very dry on the palate, with balanced acidity levels. Aromatic profile on the palate is more towards the herbaceous notes. Medium bodied and aromatic on the palate as well. Zippy, refreshing, appetizing, with good finish.

Valle 2024 is a classic aperitif wine. It will find perfect company with all kinds of salads, vegetables, risotto, and pasta, including various seafood. Great also as a wine by glass in a good restaurant or wine bar. A very food friendly wine.

It is best now (December 2024) and will drink nicely for the next year or two. Drink 2024-2026.
