Malvasia (Italian pronunciation: [malva?zi?a], also known as Malvazia) is a group of wine grape varieties grown historically in the Mediterranean region. Malvasia wines are produced in Italy (including Lombardia, Sicily, Lipari, and Sardinia), Slovenia, Croatia, Corsica, the Iberian Peninsula, the Canary Islands, the island of Madeira, California, Arizona, Australia and Brazil. These grapes are used to produce white (and more rarely red) table wines.
