It is an ideal red to enjoy with pasta dishes dressed with meat sauces or with roasts.
“Talò” is a pure Malvasia Nera, born in one of the most important realities of Puglian wine. Cantine San Marzano manages over 1500 hectares with 1200 contributing members, who passionately cultivate their lands. The Malvasia Nera vineyards of Brindisi are located in the San Marzano area, at an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level. The vines have been planted in shallow soils, predominantly clay with sandy presence and rich of skeleton. The climate is Mediterranean, warm and dry, mitigated by the sea breezes that surround the Salento peninsula. The harvest takes place in the second half of September and the grapes are sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a maceration on the skins of about ten days. Before being released for sale, the wine matures for 6 months in French oak barriques and ages for a few months in the bottle.
