Neroperso Appassimento
Neroperso pays homage to a century old winemaking method of “appassimento” that was widely practiced throughout Mediterranean countries and little has changed over time.
Harvested late to achieve maximum flavours and a high abv, the best grapes – mainly Corvina – undergo a drying process for 60 days (this process is called “appassimento”) until each grape is dried out concentrating its aromas and taste of ripe fruit. 20-25% of these grapes and used in the blend which undergoes a second fermentaion in January (Amarone will tend to have this process at the end of Feburary – March). Neropresso is finished with a short time in oak.
Gold Medal – Mundus Vini Summer Tasting 2023
Deep garnetred with an intense and harmonious bouquet of sweet, ripe damson and blackcurrant fruit backed by vanilla. Full-bodied, round and silky delivering elegance with a structured mid-palate; a smooth, long, lushious and sweet finish includes a little spice.
Appassimento is a food friendly wine; excellent with earthy first courses, as well as red meat or a juicy pulled pork
