Vintage Report

2019 was an extraordinary vintage for Piedmont, rated 97 points by Robert Parker. The conditions were ideal, resulting in balanced and age-worthy wines.

A unique wine from the renowned Barolo region. Specifically, the Piedmont region, a beautifully rich area where, in our opinion, Italy's finest wines originate. This latest wine, called Spasso from the Vite Colte winery, is truly a special glass. It's a nod to another top Italian wine, Amarone. This wine is made from the Barbera grape but undergoes the same technique as an Amarone: allowing the bunches to dry before pressing. Can we then say it's a kind of cross between Barolo and Amarone? Well, a little bit, but it's certainly unique.

The old Barbera vineyard of Spasso

This red Spasso wine is made from only Barbera grapes grown on south-facing hills. Thanks to the abundant sunshine and limited water supply, the grapes ripen very quickly. The accumulation of heat within the grapes and stems gives it a unique aroma and flavor. The grapes are harvested and then dried, similar to an Amarone wine. The grapes release juice, but the remaining juice is wonderfully concentrated. The grapes are pressed, and the entire juice is aged in oak for an impressive six months. We can tell you it's going to be a real treat.

Full and very powerful this Spasso Appassimento

The wine experience is unique, as upon pouring, we see a beautiful ruby-red color with purple glints. Wonderful aromas unfamiliar to the Piedmont region: dried black fruit, plums, and spices. A lovely hint of cedarwood is present, along with a hint of vanilla. The palate is soft and ripe, with plenty of powerful flavors of stewed fruit, sweet spices, vanilla, and chocolate. What a joy to drink!
