The higher altitude creates a significant temperature difference between day and night, contributing to optimal ripening and the complexity of the grapes. A portion of the harvest undergoes the traditional Appassimento process, in which the grapes are dried to increase the concentration of sugars and aromas. This technique results in a wine with an intense and concentrated flavor profile. The wine is aged for six months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Tasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Barasasso Appassite presents a deep ruby ​​red color.

The wine ages for 9 months in stainless steel for pure fruit, while a portion of the cuvée undergoes wood aging for extra depth. What does partial wood aging do for Viognier, and what can you taste from it? The oak adds subtle notes of vanilla and toast, rounds out the texture, and makes the peach-apricot aromas feel more prominent, while the stainless steel keeps the whole crisp and clear. This way, the glass remains expansive and silky, but never heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1086\" data-start=\"1063\"\u003eGrape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1251\" data-start=\"1088\"\u003eViognier 100 percent.
