This wine is the result of a harmonious blend of the indigenous grape varieties Montepulciano, Primitivo, and Sangiovese, which together offer a rich and full-bodied taste experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Vineyard and Vinification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested from carefully selected vineyards in the higher altitudes of Puglia. The higher altitude creates a significant temperature difference between day and night, contributing to optimal ripening and the complexity of the grapes. A portion of the harvest undergoes the traditional Appassimento process, in which the grapes are dried to increase the concentration of sugars and aromas. This technique results in a wine with an intense and concentrated flavor profile. The wine is aged for six months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Tasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Barasasso Appassite presents a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe blackberries, plum jam, and hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. The palate is full and lush, with notes of dried fruit, toffee, and a subtle spice.
