APPASSIMENTO
Grape varieties: 50% Negroamaro – 50% Primitivo
Area of production: Puglia, Italy
Alcohol contenent: 17%
Serving temperature: 16-18°C
Harvest: Beginning of October
Vinification: Grapes dried using the appassimento method yield a naturally concentrated must, rich in sugars, colour, and aromatic complexity. In the case of Negroamaro and Primitivo, this process enhances their deepest character, resulting in an intense, full-bodied red with remarkable depth.
Ageing: in stainless steel vats
Color: The wine shows a deep, almost opaque color, reflecting its richness and structure.
Bouquet: On the nose, it opens with an expressive and layered bouquet of ripe dark fruit, dried berries, and sweet spices, unfolding gradually with elegance and balance.
Palate: The palate is powerful yet refined, with velvety tannins and a dense, harmonious texture. Concentration and freshness are perfectly integrated, leading to a long, persistent finish that highlights both the generosity of the fruit and the finesse of the winemaking.
Food pairing
Hearty meat dishes work particularly well, especially slow-cooked or roasted preparations such as beef stew, braised short ribs, lamb shoulder, or pork roast with herbs. The wine’s ripe fruit and density match the intensity of the meat while soft tannins keep the pairing smooth.
