Appassimento sampler pack

Appassimento – the art of gently drying grapes after harvesting, elevating aromas, richness, and depth to a whole new level. This centuries-old Italian technique transforms fine wines into velvety powerhouses of intense flavor. With this tasting package, you'll experience six different interpretations of this fascinating method – from Apulia to Sicily and Veneto, all the way to the Languedoc region of southern France.

as, if! Appassimento Primitivo – Torrevento (Italy, Apulia)
Torrevento is one of Puglia's leading producers and makes a real statement with "as, if!". This Primitivo brings concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, and a hint of dark chocolate to the glass. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, and with a pleasant spiciness in the long finish.

Passione Reale Appassimento Puglia – Torrevento (Italy, Apulia)
Torrevento's second wine showcases a more approachable side of Apulian Appassimento. Ripe blackberry, raisin, and subtle vanilla notes dominate the nose, while on the palate, a velvety texture with mild sweetness and soft tannins delights. A wine that makes an immediate impression.

TANK 11 Syrah Appassimento IGT – Camivini (Italy, Sicily)
Camivini's TANK 11 captures the essence of Sicilian temperament in a bottle. The Syrah grape, cultivated using the Appassimento method, develops intense aromas of blueberry, black pepper, and Mediterranean herbs. Powerful yet surprisingly smooth – a wine with character and southern warmth.

Appassimento Negroamaro Passito – Conte di Campiano (Italy, Apulia)
Negroamaro is the leading grape variety of Apulia, and Conte di Campiano showcases its full potential with this Passito. Dark fruit aromas of blackberry and fig mingle with notes of tobacco and licorice. On the palate, the wine is round, concentrated, and finishes with an elegant, slightly spicy note.

Cielo Gran Maestro Appassimento Rosso – Cielo e Terra (Italy, Veneto)
Cielo e Terra from Veneto, the home of Amarone, understands the appassimento technique like few others. Their Gran Maestro delights with aromas of cherry compote, cinnamon, and a hint of mocha. Soft, round, and with a subtle residual sweetness, it is an exceptionally approachable red wine, perfect for enjoyable evenings.

Rondeur Appassimento – La Grange (France, Languedoc)
La Grange proves that appassimento isn't just for Italy. This surprising wine, from the Languedoc region of southern France, boasts aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, and Mediterranean spices. French elegance meets the concentrated richness of the appassimento method – a truly exciting discovery.

These six Appassimento wines develop ideally at 16 to 18 degrees and perfectly complement robust dishes such as braised beef, game, mature hard cheeses, dark chocolate or spicy pasta with ragout.

A package for discovering, comparing, and enjoying – and significantly cheaper than buying the wines individually. Also an excellent choice as a gift for red wine lovers and anyone who wants to experience the fascination of Appassimento.
