Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT Calabrone 2020

A Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT from Bastianich, a reserve bottled only when an excellent harvest is followed by dry and mild September and October, conditions ideal for subjecting part of the bunches to appassimento. As with Amarone della Valpolicella, the appassimento process intensifies the flavours and softens the natural tannic grip of the bunches. After 24 months in new Allier barriques, it is a wine of depth and richness, full and enveloping. Deep ruby in colour, the nose presents notes of ripe fruit, enriched by hints of spice, coffee and chocolate. On the palate the structure is notable: a full-bodied wine, complex yet at the same time elegant and harmonious in its components. It accompanies robust dishes such as stewed wild boar or grilled beef rib.
