Newly discovered grape variety

Maiolica Terre d'Abruzzo IGP 2024 Tollo Chieti

📜 A bit of history
The name “Maiolica” may derive from:
• malvasia → due to phonetic similarity and old ampelographic confusion
• maiolica (the ceramic) → because of the wine’s bright color
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, limestone soils
• benefits from the strong temperature swings of the plateau
• produces authentic, identity-driven wines, not artificially crafted
It is a grape variety that could dialogue very well with your philosophy: tradition, understated elegance, deep roots.
