Le Vigne di Sammarco MARASIA Malvasia Nera Salento Rosso IGP 2018

$29.88

Marasia, a gold medalist at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, showcases the singular potential of Malvasia Nera, a red wine variety valued for its deep color and aromatic qualities, more commonly used for blending in Italy. This wine opens with sweet fruit aromas and confectionery notes of candied black plums, leading to a supple, smooth palate. Well-balanced flavors of cherries, blackcurrants, and raspberries give way to a finish of dark chocolate and pleasantly bitter fruit. Dynamic yet refined, Marasia displays remarkable elegance with velvety tannins and proves this grape can stand on its own.
