Paolo Leo, Mora Mora Malvasia Nera 2023Vintage 2023 Size 75cl ABV 14% Tasting Note Malvasia Nera di Brindisi (not to be confused with Malvasia Nera di Basilicata. obviously..) is another of these lesser known varieties that apparently have been knocking around Puglia for centuries and are only now emerging into the daylight of single varietal bottlings Intense ruby red colour with purple tinges; pronounced aromas of red fruits, with hints of plum and spices. Full bodied and well balanced,

rubenesque character of prior Croft vintages

a slightly fresh spicy hint and a unique oriental touch given by the rubharb and the saffron on the palate

It never really finishes

the finesse of Riesling

The wine is then racked to a mixture of new (two thirds) and one year old (one third) French oak barriques where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 18-20 months

allowing complete control over all aspects of producing the finest spirit

Brézème is a limestone hillside facing south

complex combination of fruit nuances and delicate oak

especially lemons

A bright and pale yellow wine with very fresh aromas of white flowers

No added sulphur

Complex aromas of leather
