Cantine Di Marco Malvanegra Rosso IGP 750ml Alc:15% Red Wine Italy

Malvanegara is a unique blend of Negroamaro – the renowned grape variety of Salento – and Malvasia Nera – the “black diamond” of Puglia. Due to the early ripening characteristic of the hot, dry equatorial climate, combined with a harvest five weeks later than usual, the grapes here have a very high sugar content, giving the wine a distinctive flavor of ripe plums, dried jam, and tropical fruits with high concentration. After three months of fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for another six months in new French oak barrels and remains in the bottle for at least eight months before release, resulting in a gentle yet persistent oak aroma. The wine has a firm structure and a balanced finish.

The wine has aromas of cocoa, plum, licorice, new oak, leather, pencil shavings, and black pepper. It is very strong, with intense wild fruit flavors, high tannins, and a sweet finish.

Food pairing: Malvanegara pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, hot cheeses, and flavorful sauces.
