Vigneti del Salento `Zolla` Malvasia Nera, 12 Bottle case, 75cl

Ruby red in colour, very intense and mellow, with hints of cherries and notes of clove. Full-bodied with silky soft tannins, good complexity and remarkable freshness.

This is Farnese’s venture in Puglia (they are also responsible for Gran Sasso, Zabù, Vesevo, Tufarello and others). The wines are made at two wineries in the province of Taranto on the western flank of Salento. The style of the wines - fresh whites, soft and generous reds - will be familiar to those who buy their other wines, as winemaker Filippo Baccalaro is the driving force behind this label. Filippo, a native of Piemonte, has been working in Puglia for almost two decades. He was attracted by the rich, ripe flavours of the fruit, and has the potential to capture these flavours with minimal use of technology and a lot of know-how.
