]]> Cantina Sava Poggio Pasano Malvasia Nera Salento IGP https://vinumlector.com/our-wine/italy/puglia/salento/cantina-sava-poggio-pasano-malvasia-nera-salento-igp/ Mon, 27 Jul 2026 22:19:35 +0000 https://vinumlector.com/?post_type=product&p=11471 In the Sava area, the climate is typically Mediterranean with long, hot summers, but constantly influenced by sea breezes from two seas, which cool the vineyards. Here the area is predominantly flat and characterized by brick-red soils rich in iron oxides from the underlying limestone that give our wines great aromatic complexity. In Cantina Sava have selected the oldest primitivo saplings and, bunch by bunch, all our grapes are handpicked and brought intact and healthy to the cellar; where they are then handed over to expert winemakers, in charge of the scrupulous vinification and aging and prepare it for a long bottle life. The strength of these wines comes from the ability to dose the three main ingredients of the Salento wine tradition: Sun, sea and passion. For more info, visit Fantini website.
