Description
Appassimento is the Italian term for the process of drying grapes, which is used to make highly concentrated or sweet wines. Appassimento wines have become particularly famous for wines such as Amarone and Ripasso, but the method is used throughout the country.
Recently our organic Abruzzo domain Collefrisio has also made an impressive Appassimento. The wine is obtained mainly from Montepulciano, the blue grape of the region, supplemented with some sangiovese and merlot.
The grapes are harvested later, so that they dry slightly on the stick. Once plucked, the skins stay longer with the wine during fermentation for extra color and flavor intensity. The wine matures in stainless steel tanks to round it off.
Just like an Amarone, this Appassimento is also very ripe, powerful and concentrated. Drink it with hearty dishes such as game or stews, or just by the fire on cold winter evenings.
