- Quagliano is one of Italy’s least-known grape varieties and is a possible parent of Impigno from Puglia.
- Though its production was documented in the 18th century, it likely dates back to the 1600s when it was known as Negro Dolce.
- Quagliano has long been valued not only for the quality of its wine but also as an excellent table grape, often fetching higher prices than other varieties from the region.
- Additionally, it is reputed for its low sodium concentration, which may lend it diuretic qualities.
Quagliano is also available in a sparkling version, providing a delightful wine experience. This pink-hued, light-bodied sweet wine is particularly enchanting, with vibrant flavors that evoke the essence of fresh strawberries. Its effervescence adds a playful character, while the presence of substantial tannins offers a balanced structure that gracefully coats the palate. This combination of sweetness, freshness, and a touch of tannic grip makes sparkling Quagliano a unique and memorable choice for those seeking something different and delightful.
