The origin and diffusion of Malvasia is a unique and wonderful adventure. The expression “Malvasia” derives from the contraction of the name of the Greek city of “Monemvasia” (capital of the Morea), a peninsula-stronghold located in the Peloponnese and means “one door”, as the access port to the fortress had only one entrance. The name Monemvasia was then transformed into “Malfasia” and Italianized into “Malvasia” and thanks to the Venetians, between 1500 and 1700, it became the most important wine in Europe.
