PavoNero Appassimento Puglia IGT 2023 (Italy)

Description

Cherry, Spice, Vanilla

In the glass, it shows a deep red hue with alluring aromas of dark berries, cherry, a hint of strawberry, and subtle notes of spice, raisin, and vanilla. The palate is intense, brimming with lush fruit, yet balanced and smooth. Full-bodied with ripe tannins, it offers a lingering finish filled with intriguing nuances—an elegantly crafted Appassimento.

This beautiful region of Puglia never ceases to amaze us with the ever-increasing quality of its wines! Super tasty blend of  Negroamaro and Primitivo that has juicy dark fruit, vanilla and spice and it’s all things nice.

This wine hails from the stunning Apulia region in southern Italy, crafted primarily from 50% Negroamaro grapes and 50% being Primitivo. The grapes are harvested between late September and early October, allowing them to naturally dry on the vine and concentrate their flavors. This drying process yields less juice but enhances its richness and aromatic depth. Every grape is hand-selected before vinification, and the wine then matures for 12 months in cement tanks prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Serve at 17-18°C. Enjoy with barbecued meats, braised dishes, beef, or a selection of cheeses. It also makes a delightful sipper on its own.
