MALVASIA NERA
SALENTO IGT
Salento.

The heel of the boot, squeezed between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Country of the baroque and of the taranta. Land rich in history and aimed at the future. Like the rays of sunshine which illuminate it and make it unique. Like its wines.

The grapes: 100% malvasia nera di Lecce

The vineyard: parcels trained by the alberello pugliese and Guyot systems on deep, dry soil of a limestone-clay-silica nature.

The vinification: the grapes are picked very early in the morning and are immediately taken to the cellar to be pressed. The vinification takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with 10-12 days maceration and programmed remontages.

After the malolactic fermentation the wine develops in steel until the time of bottling.

The wine: strong ruby-red colour; pleasant and intensely fruity bouquet; full and balanced, velvety flavour, with hints of sweet liquorice.

Analytical details: 14% alcohol; 5.20g/l total acidity; 3.50pH; 3.8g/l residual sugar; 27 g/l dry extract.


Optimum keeping: 5 years in bottles stored horizontally in cool, dark conditions.

Food matches: savoury first courses; grilled red meats; mature cheeses.

Serving temperature: 18-20°C.
