RICOSSA
APPASSIMENTO
An offbeat version of Piedmont's most popular red grape variety, a wine with a deep red color with violet hues that turn to garnet in the aging process.
CHARACTERISTICS
A somewhat pioneering insight, being the first to vinify such a traditional classic Piedmontese grape variety as Barbera with this technique!
Barbera Appassimento was born in a torrid, drought-ridden summer that has put much of Piedmont’s wine production in trouble. One grape variety, above all, endures: it is the Barbera. Thus was born Barbera Appassimento Piemonte DOC: Hhe harvested grapes are left to dry in a ventilated, temperature-controlled room for about 5-6 weeks, in which the gradual dehydration of the berries takes place. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel at 26-30°C for about 2 weeks.
