🇮🇹 Mario del Conte Appassimento 2024
Meet the heavyweight champion of Puglia: 🇮🇹 Mario del Conte Appassimento. This isn't your average red; it’s a powerhouse blend of Merlot, Primitivo, and Negroamaro, engineered for maximum impact.
The secret weapon here is the Appassimento technique. Grapes are left to dry naturally on the vine for 15 days, losing 50% of their weight to concentrate sugars and flavors. The result is a deep ruby explosion of dried black fruits, rich chocolate, and spices. Aged in oak for just the right amount of polish, it delivers firm tannins and a long, intense finish.
Produced by a forward-thinking winery in Salento that fuses iron-rich terroir with cutting-edge tech, this wine is bold, ambitious, and unapologetic. It’s the perfect partner for wild game, roast meats, or savory aged cheeses when you need to make a lasting impression.
