Malvasia nera Les Pouilles vin rouge tranquille

Origin

Crete

Also known as

Red Malvasia

Malvasia Nera from Puglia — an autochthonous red variety of the Salento, the heel of Italy’s boot, vinified under the Salice Salentino, Brindisi and Leverano appellations blended with Negroamaro — is a fundamental complementary variety bringing aromatic finesse and roundness to the darker and more tannic Negroamaro.
