Malvasia nera from Lecce is part of the Malvasia family, a group of grape varieties, including Brindisi and Basilicata Malvasia, that share certain characteristics.

Malvasia grapes are generally grown alongside Negroamaro, and are blended with these in winemaking to provide alcohol content, richness and body to the wine.

As a monovarietal, this grape produces a very elegant wine, with harmonious aromas, light in tannins and suitable for immediate consumption.
