Testifying to the strong Venetian and Cretan connection, in Venice we find ‘Calle Malvasia’, located behind St. Mark’s Square.
“From the 15th century onwards, Malvasia wine became the most important wine of the Serenissima and medieval Europe.
Considered a highly prized and fashionable wine, it became synonymous with absolute excellence and was drunk by nobles and aristocrats.”
