Summary

The term is related to the production method and to the particular amber colouring, more or less deep, which is typical of the “Malvasia from Lipari” and “Vernaccia from Oristano” typology wines. The particular colour results from the long production period, included ageing and refinement, methods which imply significant oxide reductions of the polyphenols and colouring substances.
