Borgo del Mandorlo Appassimento Puglia IGT Rosso 0,75 ℓ

The Appassimento Rosso di Borgo del Mandorlo wine is an Apulian wine born in the provinces of Taranto and Lecce, where the Pliniana spring is found, a natural cave in which an almond tree has grown. These wines take their name from this magical place. The grapes are harvested between September and October, after a drying period of approx. 15 days which takes place directly in the vineyard by cutting the stem of the berries but leaving them on the vine, during which they lose 50% of their weight and the concentration of sugar and aromas occurs. The skins are left to macerate in the must for a long period, and then subsequently refine in barrels for about 3-4 months. In the glass the wine appears of an intense purple color. The nose releases pleasant hints of ripe fruit, such as plums and raisins, as well as notes of spices and vanilla. On the palate it is warm, with soft tannins and excellent persistence. Excellent with baked pasta, roasts and aged cheeses.
