Collefrisio Appassimento Rosso 2021 – 750ml Supply

The successful winemakers of Collefrisio in Abruzzo also offer a nice appassimento. The 60% Montepulciano and 20% Merlot grapes dry on the vine and are only harvested in the second half of October. The normally harvested sangiovese adds freshness to the wine and provides a nice balance with the concentrated, dried grapes.

Collefrisio s winemaker Amedeo de Luca dispenses with oak aging and prefers the concentrated fruit aromas that characterize the appassimento method in this wine. The result is a dark-colored red wine that smells beautifully of ripe blackberries and cherries. It also has a great taste thickness with a lot of flexibility.

Deep red wine with ripe red fruit, blackberries and candied nuances in the aroma. The taste is full, round and soft and develops well-balanced with a long, aromatic aftertaste. 

Blend: Montepulciano 60%, Merlot 20%, Sangiovese 20%
