Sartori di Verona L'Appassione Rosso delle Venezie

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a bright ruby red color with subtle garnet tinges along the rim. Crafted using a portion of grapes harvested in small boxes and partially dried until early November, this appassimento-style blend opens with an incredibly rich and expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild raspberries, and black plums. The complex nose is beautifully layered with distinctive regional notes of dark cocoa, warm baking spices, sweet pipe tobacco, and a touch of rustic leather. On the palate, it balances a juicy, full-bodied dark fruit density and a vibrant, linear alpine acidity with silky, easygoing tannins, concluding in a remarkably smooth, velvety, and harmonious dry finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with robust meat ragùs, slow-roasted duck breast, grilled pork tenderloin, artisanal pizzas, and semi-aged Italian cheeses.
