Callet is a red grape variety grown mainly on the Mediterranean island of Malta. It is known for its hardiness and ability to thrive in warm climates.

Callet grapes have thick skins and produce deep-coloured wines with intense aromas and flavours. The wines are typically full-bodied with intense notes of ripe red fruits, tobacco, leather and spices.

Callet is mainly grown on the Mediterranean island of Malta, where it is the country's most widely planted grape variety. It is also grown in the neighbouring Italian regions of Sicily and Puglia, as well as in South Africa. Callet is a hardy variety that can withstand high temperatures and drought conditions. Callet wines are traditionally rustic, light red or rosé in style and typically low in alcohol, with moderate acid levels and red fruit flavours. In more modern styles, there may be a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah or Tempranillo in the blend, which adds fruit but not tannins. The best-known producer outside Mallorca is Àn Negra, who use Callet to make both varietal and blended wines. Callet wines are best enjoyed with hearty dishes such as stews, grilled meats and game. They also pair well with rich cheeses and cured meats.

The word Callet means ‘black’ in the Mallorcan dialect.
