This grape variety is native to the Balearic Islands (Spain), more precisely to the island of Mayorque, and has been cultivated for a very long time. D.N.A. analyses have shown that it is the result of a natural cross between the sabaté and the callet cas concos (negrella), the latter being in danger of extinction. Manto negro is hardly known in other wine-producing countries, but in France it should be interesting for the production of original rosé wines that are pleasant to drink.

The wine region of Mallorca

Mediterranean wine island of the Balearics, a scene in full qualitative renewal. Native Manto Negro is the signature of Binissalem (min. 30%): velvety reds with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, garrigue, sweet spices and a smoky touch, round tannins and a sun-drenched palate — the Mallorcan identity. Also supple Callet, fruity Fogoneu, rare Gorgollasa in revival.

The wine region of Iles Baléares

Spanish Mediterranean archipelago (Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza), warm insular climate, limestone soils. Manto Negro (Majorca, 320 ha, native): supple and silky with red cherry, raspberry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and spicy hint, fine tannins and moderate alcohol. Round and fragrant Callet (native) solo or blended (young and rosé). Cabernet and Merlot for ageing cuvées.

The word of the wine: Trader-breeder

In the major wine regions, the négociant does not simply buy and resell the wines but, from very young wines, carries out all the maturing operations until bottling.
