About this product

An Ancient Grape with Modern Grace. A Roman Original, Reborn.
Cincinnato “Puntinata” Malvasia is a wine that captures the warmth and vitality of Lazio’s volcanic hills. Crafted from hand-harvested Malvasia grapes, it expresses both the freshness of the Mediterranean breeze and the minerality of the fertile volcanic soils.

In the glass, it gleams pale gold, exuding aromas of orange blossom, ripe peach, and hints of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is vibrant yet gentle, with layers of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle mineral edge, culminating in a long, refreshing finish. Its lively acidity and delicate texture make it versatile — equally at home accompanying a sophisticated seafood platter as it is enjoyed on a sunlit terrace, evoking the relaxed elegance of the Italian coast.

Each sip tells a story of Lazio’s volcanic terrain, ancient vines, and the careful craftsmanship that defines Cincinnato. It’s a wine that invites exploration, offering a sense of place and the joy of discovering a hidden gem from one of Italy’s most expressive regions.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Puntinata is an ideal companion to light seafood, fresh salads, or simply savoured on its own to enjoy a pure expression of Lazio’s terroir.

Why we love it:
We love Puntinata for its vibrancy and aromatic elegance. The Malvasia grape shines here — fresh, expressive, and infused with the mineral character of volcanic soils. Its lively personality makes it a wine that captivates the senses and brings a touch of Italian sunshine to any table.
