The appassimento style started life at Virgin as something niche, but after a few years of huge success it's become a mainstay in our Italian portfolio. The method, using partially dried grapes, makes a red wine style that's perfect for our customers. Rich, robust, bursting at the seams with fruit and spice, it ticks all the boxes of a red that's punching well above its weight. We're old pros now at sourcing this style, if we do say so ourselves!
