Malvasia Nera is a thin-skinned grape grown throughout Italy and the Mediterranean. Mauro di Maggio, the Managing Director of San Marzano—a leading producer in Puglia, established in 1962—shares the Talò Malvasia Nera Salento IGP and suggests food pairings. The 100% Malvasia Nera is a full-bodied red, aged six months in French oak. It has an intense, complex silky bouquet of plum, cherry and spice. www.cantinesanmarzano.com @sanmarzanousa
