Domini Veneti Appassimento 750ml

Tasting Note

Appassimento is made from indigenous red grape varieties. Following a thorough and rigorous blending process, both the appassimento and traditional methods are fused together in the production of this fine red wine.

Colour: ruby red with garnet hints.

Perfume: spiced with notes of vanilla and cherry.

Flavour: full bodied and round with soft tannins and a long finish with spiced notes.

The 2019 harvest began about ten days later than in previous years and with volumes reduced by 15-20% compared to 2018. After years of great heat in the final ripening phase, in which the sugar accumulation was privileged over the aromatic one, we finally had a year in which the low temperatures, combined with day/night excursions, allowed an excellent accumulation of coloring substances and a good acidity. Despite the heavy rains of May, the grapes were healthy and loose,therefore particularly suitable for appassimento. The wines denote more territorial expressions of greater longevity and freshness.

Food Pairing

A fine companion for meat dishes and aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16° - 18° C.
