Gran Maestro Appassimento Rosso Puglia

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

Maestro wines are made by the collaboration of two Maestros (Professional) winemakers: Beppe, the winemaker in Apulia, who makes the vinification process according to our directions and Marco, our brand new winemaker, who following our expectations, spends a good amount of time in the Apulia region to select the best grapes which are enhanced with oak refinement and blending.

We nickname this a baby Amarone. Its not aged for as long as an amarone nor is it the same grape varieties but the appassimento method of wine making has given this wine the similar dried fruit characters and similar levels on intensity too!

VARIETALS
Sangiovese, Primitivo, Negroamaro

NOSE
The bouquet offers wonderfully expressive aromas of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry).

PALATE
On the palate, this rich and powerful wine is characterized by incredibly silky texture; with its lively fruit acidity it appears also fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The finish is soft with sweet tannins.

VINIFICATION
Sun-dried partially cold fermented grapes, followed by aging on the fine lees for a few months before bottling.

PAIRING
Great pairing to red meats and mature cheeses.
