The malvasia bianca is a crisp, dry, jasmine and lime-scented white from an obscure Italian variety planted 25 years ago on rock-strewn shale soils at the foot of the Santa Lucias on the western edge of the Salinas valley. Its vibrant, citrusy freshness is the perfect accompaniment to all seafoods & savory sauces with cilantro, parsley, pesto or sharp cheeses
