Malbo Gentile

The Malbo Gentile grape has unknown origins and is particularly common in Emilia-Romagna. It was re-evaluated in more recent times and highlighted as of considerable oenological quality. It is vinified in purity but also in blends with Lambruschi varieties from the region. They produce fine sparkling wine and still wines as well. It is also used for the production of new wines through carbonic maceration. Its berry is black medium, spherical with black-blue, waxy skin. The cluster is large, elongated pyramid, sparse with one or two wings and the leaf is medium, pentagonal, three-lobed or entire. The grape Malbo gentile gives an intense ruby red wine, with a pleasant, fruity scent. Its structure allows a certain aging.
