Italy's version of this enjoyable varietal is produced in the extreme southeastern portion of Italy. This area, which forms the Salentine peninsula, is often referred to as the "heel of the boot" in reference to the country's unique shape. Malbec's a grape that is generally thinner-skinned than other varieties, and it demands lots of sun, therefore limiting the regions of preferred growth. Salentine's climate is well suited for producing Salentine Malbec wine, and you'll enjoy the results. This varietal is known for producing a quite dark red to plum color with ample tannins. It often is mixed with other wines such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon because of the intensity of Malbec's flavors. However, more vineyards are turning out wines that are derived 100 percent from this particular grape. These bottles are sometimes described as having characteristics somewhere between a Merlot, like the 14 Hands wines, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. If you have not experienced a pure bottle made from Salentine's Malbecs, then you are in for a wine-lover's treat.
As a rich and lustrous red, Malbec's an enjoyable alternative to wines that you may typically serve. Juicy flavors of plums and berries result in wines that most people appreciate whether served with meals or on their own. Hudson Valley Wines and Liquors brings you a solid selection of Malbecs, all reasonably priced. Try one today or feel free to call us for a personal recommendation from our on-staff consultants.
