Description

Appassimento involves drying the grapes before they are fermented. This process results in a concentrated wine with a unique profile.

Passimento wines are often full-bodied and have a deep, rich color. They are known for their intense fruit flavors and aromas, which are often reminiscent of raisins, figs, and other dried fruits. Passimento wines can also have notes of spice, chocolate, and tobacco, which add complexity to their profile.

The high sugar concentration in the grapes during the appassimento process also leads to a higher alcohol content in the finished wine. This can make passimento wines quite powerful and warming, with a long, lingering finish.

Overall, passimento wines are a bold and flavorful option for wine lovers who enjoy complex, full-bodied wines with intense fruit flavors and aromas.
