Sweet, enveloping, and… irresistible!
The Black Magic grape, originating from Moldova, is distinguished by its naturally sweet flavor and low degree of acidity, combined with an early ripening that occurs as early as June. Its bunches, generally of medium size and conical shape, feature bluish-black berries of ellipsoidal shape, almost totally seedless.
Thanks to the high sugar content and remarkable aromaticity, it is particularly appreciated in the production of high-alcohol wines, which retain a soft and fragrant taste. At the same time, its elegant appearance and delicate taste make it an ideal choice for enriching cakes, desserts, and fruit arrangements, providing a pleasant contrast between the slightly crunchy skin and the juicy pulp.
