Tinazzi

Salento 60% Merlot, 40% Malvasia Nera

Feudo Croce Malnera Tinazzi is a captivating red wine hailing from the Salento region. Crafted from a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Malvasia Nera, this wine offers a harmonious combination of flavors and aromas. The rich red hue hints at the luscious notes of dark berries, earthy undertones, and a touch of spice. The body is full, enveloping the palate with a velvety texture that carries the fruit-forward and robust characteristics of this well-balanced wine. The acidity is refreshing, adding a vibrant lift to the overall profile. With medium tannins lending structure and complexity, the dry finish leaves a lasting impression.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
