A true expression of the Heel of Italy
Emporium wines tell a story about Puglia and its authenticity, from the passion for the land to the values of conviviality and sharing. These strong red wines are crafted from Primitivo (zinfandel) and Negroamaro grapes and pair well with traditional food of the region of Puglia.
Production
60% Negroamaro, 40% Primitivo.
The drying of grapes is a very ancient practice that precedes the Greek civilization and was used to preserve both the fruit and, later also the wine for a longer period. This was made possible because of a higher sugar concentration.
During harvest, the best grapes are selected to remain on the vine for an extended period, until each grape is dried out concentrating its sugars.
Emporium Appassimento is a red wine crafted with Primitivo and the Negroamaro grape, two indigenous varietals which grow in the land of Salento in Italy. It pays homage to an old century winemaking method that was widely practiced throughout Mediterranean countries and little changed since ancient times.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red with purple hues. Intense bouquet, with notes of ripe fruits and jam. A full-bodied wine on the palate with smooth tannins and long-lasting hints of cherry jam, spice and tobacco. Surprisingly fresh on the finish.
Emporium Appassimento is perfect with red meat dishes, wild game and seasoned cheeses.
