Regional Information
Aristocratico Appassimento is made using selected Primitivo (Zinfandel) and Negroamaro grapes grown in vineyards in the Salento wine region of Puglia, Italy.
Vinification Details
Aristocratico Appassimento pays homage to this century old winemaking process to obtain the finest red wines thanks to late harvesting. Only the best grapes of Negramaro and Primitivo varieties are selected and left on the plants, until each grape is dried out, concentrating its taste and aromas. Characterised by an intense ruby red color and ripe fruit with notes of spices.
