Ca Vittoria Appassimento Gold Release 2021

75cl bottle. Vegan.

If you like Amarone style Valpolicella then this hugely impressive big red will suit you. The grapes are left longer on the vine than is usual for ‘standard’ table wines to elevate and concentrate the levels of natural sugars and they then undergo a period of natural drying so that they become ‘uve passite’ … grapes on their way to being raisins. The resultant wine is concentrated, enormously fruity with a pleasingly strong backbone of tannins and acidity at a good level, just right to balance the rich, plummy fruit flavours.
