Appassimento Revisus, Scubla (75cl)

Appassimento style wines are notoriously challenging to make - often unbalanced, overly sweet, and reminiscent of liquid marmalade. For more insight into the process, check out Andrea’s post on the subject.

Roberto Scubla’s Appassimento, however, stands out as an exceptional red wine appassimento style. Full bodied and beautifully balanced, it boasts a complex nose of wild berries, roses, and tobacco, complemented by vibrant acidity and rich black cherry flavors on the palate. Smooth and aromatic, this is a proper example of appassimento done right.

Crafted from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, this wine undergoes careful aging - 10 months in small French barriques and larger barrels, followed by an additional year in steel tanks. The result is a refined and elegant appassimento wine, perfect for lovers of the style. Enjoy it with stews, fried foods, semi aged cheeses, or even a piece of indulgent dark chocolate.
