The VignaMadre 2022 Rosso da Uve Appassite IGP is a masterclass in the traditional appassimento method – a time-honoured Italian winemaking technique where grapes are left to dry on the vine, concentrating their sugars and deepening their flavour.
Crafted from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown in Abruzzo’s sun-drenched vineyards, this wine is an opulent, velvety red that embodies warmth and indulgence.
In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby colour with garnet highlights. The bouquet is rich and layered, offering aromas of mocha, dark chocolate, ripe black cherries, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and silky, with flavours of juicy plum, roasted coffee, and a touch of vanilla from careful ageing. Balanced acidity and smooth tannins lead to a lingering, warming finish.
Perfect Food Pairings
Whether served on a cosy winter evening or as a statement bottle for a special dinner, this appassimento-style Montepulciano delivers depth, elegance, and irresistible Italian charm.
