==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|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_%26_Bitter_Festival|Sour & Bitter Festival]] in 2012 for a price of 350Dkr, or approximately $62USD.
When 250 liters of fruit juice was first sent to Armand from Italy, it was technically illegal. You cannot send grape juice out of Italy. As such, it was reported to be wine. The juice was stopped and was to be sent to the lab for alcohol content analysis. However, it wasn't sent right away. While they were waiting, it exploded in their fridge.<ref name=summit16>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 16|The Lambic Summit 2010, Part 16]]</ref>
