Coppi Sannace Malvasia Nera 2021 Puglia IGT

A red wine from Puglia, made from Malvasia Nera and matured exclusively in stainless steel. It is a straightforward, easygoing style that suits informal meals with friends and family. The grape is linked to the ancient Byzantine town of Monembasia in the Peloponnese, and spread from there through the Veneto to the rest of Italy and Europe. The colour is ruby red with purple reflections. The nose is clearly fruity, with ripe pomegranate and raspberry. The palate follows the nose, with good body, a slightly savoury edge and good length. It goes well with cured meats, fresh cheeses, savoury pies and pizza with Neapolitan escarole.
