Negramoll is a distinguished red grape variety, primarily associated with the Canary Islands and the Madeira archipelago. Renowned for producing wines of elegance rather than power, it offers a delicate aromatic profile featuring notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, gentle floral tones, and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, Negramoll typically exhibits soft tannins, moderate acidity, and a light to medium body, resulting in approachable and highly drinkable wines.
The principal winegrowing regions for Negramoll include Tenerife, La Palma, and Madeira, where it is often found under the name Tinta Negra. These regions esteem Negramoll for its adaptability to volcanic soils and Atlantic climatic influences, contributing further nuance to its character.
Typical styles range from youthful, fruit-forward reds to more complex, age-worthy examples, as well as dry and sweet fortified wines, particularly on Madeira. Still wines display freshness and subtle spice, whereas fortified versions develop notes of caramel, walnut, and dried fruit with age.
Negramoll pairs harmoniously with a variety of dishes. It complements grilled fish, roast poultry, flavourful charcuterie, and mildly spiced vegetarian cuisine. Its gentle structure and freshness also make it an excellent companion for tapas and Mediterranean fare.
