Description
3 Fonteinen Malvasia Rosso is a young lambic blended with a red Italian Malvasia grape and available in 75cl bottles. The beer is 8% ABV.
History / Other Notes
3 Fonteinen Malvasia Rosso was initially bottled in 2002, and the exact varietal of Malvasia grape used is unknown. The last known bottling of Malvasia Rosso occurred in 2003. Bottles were available for purchase around Belgium and were served at both the brewery and Moeder Lambic, as well as in select markets in the United States. Many of the 2003 bottles were available in Denmark and Belgium around 2009, as well as during the first Sour & Bitter Festival in 2012 for a price of 350Dkr, or approximately $62USD.
Unsubstantiated Stories
There is speculation that Malvasia Rosso is the same beer as 3 Fonteinen Druiven Geuze which was bottled in 2000. However, it is still unclear if different grapes were used between the beers, and more research is currently needed.
