Pollera nera is a red variety that is grown primarily in the Liguria wine<\/a> region and northwest Tuscany. Ampelographers believe that the vine has a very long winemaking history but it is rarely seen today.\u00a0It is believed to have been descendent from the Chianti wine grape Mammolo and the Corsican\u00a0grape Sciacarello\u00a0which would make it a half-sibling of Colombana nera.<\/p>\n Pollera nera is a permitted variety in Colli di Luni\u00a0DOC <\/a>that spans across the border between Liguria and Tuscany. Here the red wines are primarily Sangiovese\u00a0(60-70%) with Pollera nera, Canaiolo<\/a> and Ciliegiolo collectively making up 15-40% of the blend and other local red varieties permitted up to a maximum of 25%. Grapes destined for the DOC wine must harvested\u00a0to a yield no greater than 12 tonnes\/hectare with the finished wine needing to attain a minimum alcohol level of at least 11.5%. A riserva bottling can also be produced with wines that attain at least 12.5% alcohol level and are aged a minimum of two years prior to release.<\/p>\n Over the years Pollera nera has been known under a variety of synonyms including Corlaga, Corlage, Palera, Polera, Pollara nera and Pollora Nera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Wikipedia Pollera nera is a red variety that is grown primarily in the Liguria wine region and northwest Tuscany.
