Ca' Vittoria Appassimento Rosso Gold Release 2023
The Ca' Vittoria Appassimento Rosso Gold Release is a popular award winning wine made from a blend of Negroamaro, Merlot and Primitivo grapes grown and harvested in the Salento area of Puglia. To craft this wine, harvesting takes place as late as October, which gives the grapes a high level of sugar required for the appassimento method. The ripe grapes mature on the vine for about 15 days, during which period 50% of their weight and moisture is lost. After a rigorous hand harvest, the grapes are pressed and the fermentation starts; the skins are left in the must for a long period to extract flavours and the characteristic ruby red colour. The wine is then left in oak for around 3-4 months. The resulting wine is concentrated and moreish, with characteristic notes of plums and raisins.
