MASSERIA LIVELI Askos Malvasia Nera Salento IGT 2021
Askos is the name of our project dedicated to the research, selection and valorisation of the heritage of native Apulian vines in danger of extinction. The wines are produced exclusively with grapes coming from areas with a particular vocation in which the vine is bred according to the canons of an ancient memory. The symbol is an askos, a Greek "decanter" from the 1st century BC.
Not impenetrable ruby. Important but graceful nose: dried violet, currants, spices, candied orange peel, cocoa, hints of ash alternate on the nose. In the mouth it is of rare balance, played on elegance and flowing tactile sensations that invite you to taste it again. Remarkable persistence, with a finish reminiscent of dark chocolate and china.
