As one of the first in the UK to introduce the appassimento style, we know this wine well, and we know even better how much our customers love it! There's always room for evolution though and it was during a tasting that came the lightbulb moment. Malbec. This is a grape that has a natural and unique blueberry-style freshness that we thought would elevate the decadent appassimento style seamlessly. The problem was finding an Italian appassimento producer that grew Malbec too. But we found them! And this is it, a traditionally rich appassimento with a Malbec lift. Almost certainly a first.

L'Ornato Appassimento 2022

Light

Full-bodied

Whereas a full-blooded Amarone is made completely from dried grapes, the L'Ornato is a blend of juice from dried grapes combined with their estate-level Corvinone, Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon which are fermented more traditionally. The result is a really smooth, huge red with masses of cherry and blackcurrant fruit, complex spicy and herbal notes and possesses the spirit of a top-drawer Amarone, but at a snip of the price.

Baciato Appassimento Negroamaro 2023

(2167)

ABV: 14%
Vintage: 2023
Size: 75cl

Light

Full-bodied

Grape type:
Negroamaro

Now - End 2030

Everything about the process in making this wine makes perfect sense. First off, the quality of Negroamaro from Salento shines. Further still, the use of the passito method (leaving the grapes to partially dry on the vine) softens the tannins and adds a mouth-filling generosity to the wine. With the heat and this vineyard method, there's a danger of an overly jammy, sticky wine style. But the local sea cools Salento's vineyards each night, allowing the fruit to hold onto its natural freshness.
