Malvasia, a variety recovered and adapted to climate change

lvasia is one of the grape varieties with the longest historical trajectory in the entire Mediterranean arc. Its documentary and heritage footprint has left us a trail to be studied and valued. In Sitges, we find it already documented in the 15th century and it was one of the most emblematic wines of the Catalan territory. Sitges Malvasia is a grape variety that was in danger of extinction due to its low yield, sensitivity to powdery mildew and growth of tourism in the planted area. The collective efforts managed to bring it back and at the moment there are more than 30 wineries working with it so we can enjoy this variety which has a good resistance to the climate change and a long cultural tradition in Sitges and neighbor areas.
