Description
What kind of wine it is
Aprimondo Appassimento Puglia is a still red wine by Caviro, created from a blend of Negroamaro, Merlot and Malvasia Nera. In the glass, it displays an intense violet colour and concentrated aromas of blackberries and ripe fruit. On the palate, it offers a robust and complex structure, revealing itself as savoury, balanced and with a persistent finish. If allowed to breathe for about an hour and served at 14-18°C, it pairs perfectly with stews and red meats, enhancing heartier dishes with its generous intensity.
Where it comes from
This organic and vegan wine originates in Southern Italy, in the region of Puglia. The vineyards rest on clay-limestone soils situated between 100 and 350 metres above sea level, altitudes that ensure complete and balanced ripening. The vines are cultivated using a single Guyot training system. These specific soil and climate conditions highlight the area's vocation for producing wines with a mature profile and deep colour intensity.
How it is produced
Harvesting takes place between late September and mid-October. To maximise flavour concentration, the technique of partial drying of the grapes is applied in temperature-controlled rooms. Ageing takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks, without the use of barrels, to preserve the primary integrity of the fruit and the clear notes of jam. This careful and respectful approach to the raw material ensures the wine has excellent ageing potential.
History and Curiosities
The 2023 vintage of Aprimondo is born from the union of Negroamaro, Merlot and Malvasia Nera grapes, cultivated on the clay-limestone soils of Apulia. The secret of this wine lies in the appassimento technique, a process in which the grapes rest at a controlled temperature to maximise the concentration of aromas. Aged exclusively in steel to preserve the integrity of the fruit, this organic and vegan red expresses 16 degrees of pure vigour. Awarded 98 points by Luca Maroni, it boasts sustainable production and offers remarkable ageing potential.
