Newly discovered grape variety

Maiolica Terre d'Abruzzo IGP 2024 Tollo Chieti

📜 A bit of history
The name “Maiolica” could derive from:
• malvasia → due to the similarity in sound and ancient ampelographic confusion
• maiolica (the ceramic) → because of the brilliance of the wine’s colour
It was very widespread until the 19th century, then almost disappeared. Today it is being revived by small producers who want to enhance lesser-known grape varieties.
🌄 Why it is interesting for Navelli
Maiolica is a grape variety that speaks the same language as your territory:
• loves poor, calcareous soils
• benefits from the strong temperature swings of the plateau
• produces authentic, distinctive wines, not over-engineered
It is a grape variety that could fit perfectly with your philosophy: tradition, understated elegance, deep roots.
