What people are saying about Porticina
Amy
Nice light, crisp white
Nothing buttery or oaky, just a nice clean wine. Perfect for so many spring and summer evenings.
Elanyna
Perfection!
I have been impatiently waiting to try Porticina Malvasia since we first learned about it at Harvest! Eager to celebrate my Italian heritage, wines excite me. Porticina is perfection! It pairs wonderfully with all of our favorite Italian dishes. On St. Joseph’s Day I paired it with a Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta with Truffle Parmesan Cream Sauce…instantly my family and I were transported to Italy with one sip. It also paired perfectly with my Nana’s zeppole for dessert! Thanks for another great wine, Traveling Vineyard!

Love the flavors of this wine. Nice and crisps.
Aubrie
Highly recommend
I tried for the first time last night on its own and it was delicious. Very smooth wine. I cannot wait to buy more and try it with some grilled salmon and pad Thai.
Kelly Lopeman
Delish!
I absolutely love this wine! It reminds me of sitting outside on a summer day, sipping with my friends and making memories. It is delicious with "everything but the bagel" hummus and plain crackers. YUM!
Susan
Delicious Alternative to Your Typical Whites
Lush, with a great mouthfeel and good acidity, this wine's notes of melon and a hint of nuttiness is a slam dunk. Get it while you can - you won't be sorry!
Robin
Perfect summer sipper
Porticina is the perfect wine for summertime! I am in love with this crisp, dry wine that pairs well with so many foods or just friends on the deck!
Amy
Crisp and refreshing
This is a great wine. Nice and light. Crisp and refreshing. This wine was not at all what I was expecting and was a very pleasant surprise!
Kiersten
New summer sipper
I found my new summertime sipper! This wine is so refreshing and being a lover of Sauvignon Blancs, Viogniers, and anything Italian, this is a go-to wine for me. It's been a hit with my friends too!

I really enjoy this white wine - usually a red drinker.
I just had Malvasia and I was surprised how much I loved it since I usually enjoy a dry red. This paired so well with the lemon bars my friend made. I highly recommend this wine.
