The Appassimento Rosso Puglia is a full bodied wine made from carefully selected Negroamaro, Malvasia Nero, Merlot and Cabernet grapes.
The grapes are prepared following the Appassimento method. Appassimento is most famous for the unique style of some of Veneto’s best loved wines, including Valpolicella Ripasso and Amarone. It is the process of drying grapes in ventilated drying lodges (fruttai) over the winter months.
Through the drying process the grapes lose around 30% of their water content, the sugars and flavour compounds in the grapes are concentrated. In addition, acidity decreases while resveratrol (the compounds linked to antioxidant properties in wine) and glycerin levels increase, lending balance, richness and a unique ‘glossy’ texture to the wines.
Here the Appassimento method is applied to the Negroamaro, Malvasia Nero, Merlot and Cabernet grapes from the Puglia area of South East Italy. Producing a wine that is full bodied, rich and complex. Lots of complex and fruity flavours with notes of ripe dark cherries, fresh herbs and vanilla.
The Appassimento Rosso Puglia is presented in a beautiful wrap around paper cover.

One af the best wine I tried in the last few years smooth, elegant full body and great after taste of red fruit. plums rich and tooo easy to drink I will be back for more for years to come.
Appassimento Rosso Puglia is a captivating wine that embodies Italy's Puglia region winemaking.
The wine greets you with a deep ruby hue upon pouring, hinting at its depth and intensity. The nose is a luxurious bouquet of ripe dark fruits, including plums and cherries, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spices acquired from careful aging in oak barrels.
It is ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses.
The wine is excellent and the taste and look (of the bottle) make for a wine that seems far more expensive than its reasonable price. Highly recommend this.
Fantastic value for a superb wine.
Great value wine, that has a much more expensive mouth feel, and great with food, or on its own!
