Malvirà
The growth and success of Malvirà, a true benchmark in the wine world of Roero, has gone hand in hand with that of the territory. The name comes from the dialect term used to refer to the old farmhouse where the winery is located today. Competent and forward-thinking, brothers Massimo and Roberto Damonte, after inheriting the family winery in the 1970s, have contributed to the enhancement of the territory by producing good wines with a strong territorial vocation. The two native grape varieties of Roero, Arneis and Nebbiolo, have thus reached high-level expressions, giving rise to labels that are both elegant and complex, rich and fascinating, in which all the great potential of the terroir is realized.
The strength of the Malvirà winery, in addition to a family management that is very attentive to quality and elegance, is certainly that of an extraordinarily suited territory. By choosing to enhance each single cru, the Damonte brothers have been able to make Malvirà an example to follow, dedicated to quality and to the development of the territory. The vineyards are rooted in clay and limestone hilly soils between 200 and 300 meters in altitude and enjoy excellent exposures. The Trinità vineyard, which scenically surrounds the winery, the Renesio vineyard, the Mombeltramo vineyard, and many others, located in the municipality of Canale, have become famous among enthusiasts: splendid crus cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. The connection with the history and traditions of Roero is emphasized by the graphic choice of the labels that recalls the coat of arms of the wheel of the Counts of Roero alongside images of tarot cards.
Malvirà has established itself in the Piedmontese wine scene for high-level labels, reds capable of excellent evolutions and suitable for long aging, and elegant, fresh, balanced, and complex whites. The result is seen and felt in the glass: wines that have a strong territorial imprint, among the best and most authentic representatives of Roero.
