MALVASIA NERA SALENTO ROSSO IGP AMAURI

Red Wine – Amauri Malvasia Nera 2021

From the exclusive "The Wine of the Champions" collection by Fabio Cordella, we present a powerful red wine: the Amauri Malvasia Nera 2021. This elegant drop from the southern reaches of Puglia reflects the physical strength, determination, and striking power of the Brazilian-Italian star striker Amauri. A full-bodied premium wine for moments full of passion.

Character & Style

The native Malvasia Nera grape benefits enormously from the warm climate of the Salento peninsula, located between the Adriatic and Ionian seas.

Steady coastal breezes preserve the freshness of the grapes and ensure a refined aromatic expression. The wine is known for its generous fruitiness, its velvety texture, and its fine profile. It offers an unmistakable, authentic expression of southern Italian winemaking – dominant and present, just like Amauri in the penalty area.
