Paul Lato's Boogie Nights Malvasia Bianca is a vibrant, highly aromatic white wine that showcases the winemaker's playful side alongside his trademark precision. Sourced from the sandy soils of the Larner Vineyard in the Ballard Canyon AVA of Santa Barbara County, this wine is a brilliant expression of Malvasia Bianca, an ancient grape family with roots stretching back to Greece and the Mediterranean. Lato coaxes incredible exoticism from the grape, utilizing stainless steel and neutral oak to preserve its intense floral and tropical aromatics while maintaining a crisp, dry, and mineral-driven palate. The name Boogie Nights captures the energetic, expressive, and fun-loving character of this highly aromatic wine, which dances on the palate with notes of jasmine, lychee, and citrus peel.
