Puro

PURO is a 100% Black Malvasia, this grape belongs to the Malvasia family but unlike White Malvasia it is not an aromatic grape. PURO impresses with body, alcohol content, elegance and finesse. They say Malvasia was imported by the Venetians from the Peloponnese in the Middle Ages, then spread throughout the Mediterranean, and so to Italy. The name “Malvasia” probably comes from Monenvasia, a town on the eastern coast of the Peloponnese. PURO wine goes well with: fish soup; seared salmon or grilled white meats; fresh flavored cheeses.
