Malvasia of Lipari, of which there are three types, a table and two by the end of the meal, is one of the oldest and most prestigious wines of Sicily. Probably introduced by the Greeks, as Diodorus Siculus in the first century BC, this wine is born in the Aeolian islands where viticulture has origins far more remote. Very curious is the origin of the term "malvasia" in Lipari. An ancient Christian legend, dating back to the Muslim domination, tells of a poor peasant of the place, intent on bringing up a green wine moscato. These, along the road met the tyrannical governor of the Arab who claimed to see what he had under his cloak, he replied that only brought juice and mauve, praying the Lord to turn the wine in mauve, the so called "mauve is" . The prayer was heard and an expression of disgust marked the face of the tyrant while he drank the contents dell'anfora. In "Life errant" the great French novelist Guy de Maupassant describes the wine Malvasia delle Lipari: "It seems syrup sulfur. It's the wine of volcanoes, dense, sweet, golden and with such a taste of sulfur that remains on the palate until the evening: wine of the devil. "
