Malvirà was established in the 1950s by Giuseppe Damonte, in Roero in the Piedmont region. Today, Malvirà’s wines are made from their Estate fruit, organically farmed on 104 acres across 6 vineyards. They are one of the most ardent proponents of the Arneis grape. Arneis needs careful farming. According to Massimo Damonte, who oversees viticulture at the Estate, the secret to great Arneis lies in old vines. The average age of Malvirà’s Arneis is 40‐50 years old. Vine age helps to inhibit yields, allowing the plant to channel more of its energy into higher quality fruit. In addition to Arneis, Malvirà grows Favorita, Roero (100% Nebbiolo), Barbera, and Birbet.
