An Ancient Grape with Modern Grace. A Roman Original, Reborn.
Once nearly forgotten, Malvasia Puntinata is now one of Lazio’s best-kept secrets — and in the hands of Cincinnato, it becomes something truly special. Native to the Roman countryside, this rare variety is known for its aromatic intensity and elegant structure. Cincinnato’s version is crisp and lifted, with layers of floral notes, ripe fruit, and a refined mineral finish.
This is a white wine with real personality — subtle, expressive, and beautifully suited to life in Ireland, where seafood, fresh cheeses, and bright herbs call for wines with energy and finesse.
Why we love it:
Cincinnato’s Malvasia Puntinata is both refreshing and quietly complex. It's a brilliant conversation-starter for anyone in Ireland looking to explore Italy’s lesser-known white grapes — and a versatile choice for the table.
