MASSERIA PIETROSA MALVASIA NERA

ABV 13%
A masseria is a farm in Puglia, and the term pietrosa means 'stony' which applies to the low vigour soil on this estate. This estate is part of the co-operative at San Marzano, and the wines are made by Filippo Baccalaro. As a result, they are fresh and clearly varietal. Established in 1962, the San Marzano co-op has over 1000 members whose vineyards cover a huge area, spread over a wide variety of different terrains and microclimates.
The label shows a Puglian version of the fable, the Fox and the Grapes, where, unlike in Aesop‘s version which gives rise to the expression ‘sour grapes‘, the fox never gives up because the Puglian grapes are so good.
TASTING NOTE
The wine was aged in French oak barriques for four months and has a dense, deep ruby red in colour with an intense perfume of spiced cherries with a hint of cloves. On the palate the wine is robust and structured with ripe, juicy cherryish fruit and supple tannins, finishing long and spicy.
