Appassimento 100% De’Conti 2020

Ageing; Stainless steel & oak

Structure; Intense and full bodied

Food pairing ideas; Ragouts, stews and casseroles along with grilled red meat.

Description; Deep rich ruby in colour, bold aromas of black cherry, leather and mixed spice, lead into dried fruit, plum and chocolate on the palate with hint of fruit cake, wrapped up with gentle velvety tannins. The richness of this dry Southern red, comes from the Appassimento method which allows the grapes extra time in the sun to dry out and intensify their natural flavours. Wonderful!

Producer profile; The Cielo family originated in the Valle del Chiampo and the family winery began in 1908. The family winery continued to gow and expand throughout the 1930's as the second generation took over. The third generation took over in the 1960's and a new winery was built and the family built up its export market. Now on the fourth generation the family still excel at producing good wines at incredible value. They focus on looking after the earth and growing grapes in a sustainable manner and respecting the envronment.
