The wine region of Gozo
Sister island of Malta (67 km2, central Mediterranean archipelago), vineyards on the north coast in microclimates sheltered from sea salt, ripening one week after the main island. Merlot reigns in supple red with plum, cherry, chocolate and Mediterranean herb touch, round tannins. Dense Cabernet Sauvignon, peppery Syrah, sunny Grenache (up to 84% in DOK Gozo). Ample Chardonnay, Girgentina white and Gellewa red, indigenous and phylloxera-resistant.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
