Discover the grape variety: Fogoneu

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. It is believed to be the result of a natural cross between the escursac or excursach and the mansés (or mancès) de capdell. DNA analyses show that the Fogoneu Mallorqui is not related to any other variety and that the Fogoneu is a direct descendant of the Callet. It can be found in Argentina, Spain and Italy, but is little known in France, although it should be interesting for the production of original rosé wines that are always very pleasant to drink.
