A dense, dark red wine with purple hues and a hint of rich body. The bouquet is rich, with hints of ripe red fruit, especially ripe plums and blackberries, which are already turning into jam and pekmez. In the background, graphite, leather, pepper, vanilla, licorice root and forest undergrowth can be detected. All nicely rounded and waiting to be confirmed with the first sip. Convincing in the mouth, with bold tannins balanced by just the right alcohol level and saltiness. Notes of ripe fruit and jam create an illusion of sweetness, behind which stands the bold structure of an extremely multifaceted wine.

The wine is an ideal accompaniment to mature hard cheeses, spicy meat dishes such as beef Burgundy, spicy goulash or cheeks in their own juice, grilled and skewered dishes, as well as chocolate cakes and truffles.

With its color of straw and old gold, Malvasia Artwork deserves the title of amber wine from the first glance. Such a classification is supported by the slow creeping of wine bubbles around the rim of the glass, and fully confirmed by the bouquet with dominant balsamic and resinous notes. Hints of dried fruit, floral honey, baked apples, and roasted nuts can also be detected. In the mouth, mineral, rich, still youthfully fresh, with a nice harmony of acid and alcohol, emphasizing the fullness of the body with its warmth. The tannins are quite smooth and allow for a long aftertaste during which warm balsamic notes return, including caramel, vanilla and cinnamon.

A wine for strong, spicy dishes, lamb and goat skewers, grilled meat, roasted suckling piglet, liver pâté, as well as for pasta with a rich meat sauce, for example the one that can be prepared from local »markandela« or »kožarica« sausages. For oily freshwater fish and for lobster claws, for mussels or shrimps in buzara sauce and goulash with tripe.
