Linea Di Marco – Malvanegra Red

Malvanegra Red

Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) – Puglia | Appassimento

Red wine made from a blend of Primitivo (30%), Negroamaro (30%), Nero di Troia (20%) and Merlot (20%), grown in Puglia on sandy and calcareous-clay soils. The appassimento process takes place both on the vine and in boxes: cutting the fruiting cane interrupts sap flow, after which the grapes are placed in boxes for 4-5 weeks. The wine is aged in stainless steel, followed by a further 4 months in French oak barriques. Fining is carried out exclusively using plant-based fining agents. It displays an intense red colour with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry, complemented by toasted spices. On the palate, it is soft, velvety and persistent, with red-fruit jam notes. Ideal with roasted or grilled red meats, baked veal, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
