The secret of Epicuro is the Appassite technique used. The Appassite technique is derived from the technique used in the production of Amarone. For Amarone, the grapes are first dried for a certain period before being pressed. With Epicuro Appassite, approximately 20% of the grapes are dried before being pressed. Because of the drying process, a lot of juice is lost, but the resulting juice is of exceptional quality, super-concentrated, and mouth-filling. Now that's a real treat!
The Epicuro Appassite is a blend of two all-rounders in the Italian wine landscape. Primitivo and Negroamaro have been producing superb wines for decades. However, after drying, the cellar master has blended the two grape varieties in such a way that the result is almost astonishing. The full-bodied Primitivo and the complex Negroamaro pair perfectly with lamb and grilled meats.
It's high time to enjoy a bottle of Epicuro Appassite. The fun begins the moment you pour this red Italian wine. A refined aroma rises from the glass. Your nose is teased by notes of plums, currants, and plenty of ripe black fruit. Simply superb! Take a sip and be amazed by the mouth-filling character. Blackberries, currants, cherries, but also spices, vanilla, and licorice. The creamy smoothness of Epicuro Appassite will make you want another sip... and another. You can't get enough of this Epicuro wine. The only downside to this Italian wine is that one bottle is never enough!
