Molinara

Molinara is a traditional Italian grape variety mainly used in winemaking, especially in the region of Campania. It produces red wines that are typically light to medium in body, often with bright acidity and fruity flavors. Historically, Molinara has been used as a blending grape to add freshness and structure to wines, but it is less common as a single-varietal wine today. Its name derives from "mola," meaning grindstone, possibly referring to grape processing methods. Overall, Molinara contributes to the balance and vibrancy of Italian wines, particularly in blends from southern Italy.
