The ancient Mammolo grape grows in Tuscany and on the French island of Corsica. Mammolo produces pleasant red wines with a delicate floral aroma. It's difficult to taste, as Mammolo is usually blended with Sangiovese.
The Mammolo is likely over a thousand years old, but it's endangered. Only a few winemakers in Tuscany still have it in their vineyards. They use it to enhance the aroma of Chianti or Montepulciano wines. It must have been brought to Corsica long ago, where it grows in vineyards under the name Sciaccarello.
