The Barbanera Special Selection da Uve Leggermente Appassite 2018 is a refined red wine from Puglia, Italy. This unique wine is made using the traditional appassimento method, in which the grapes are lightly dried to concentrate their flavors. This gives the wine an intense, full-bodied structure and a distinctive character that reflects the best of Tuscany.
An Experience for the Senses
In the glass, the wine shines with a deep ruby red color, enriched with purple reflections. The nose opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherries and black plums, supported by subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spices. Upon tasting, this wine offers a full, elegant flavor with silky tannins. The flavors of ripe red fruit, dark chocolate, and a hint of oak blend into a perfectly balanced finish.
Artisanal Vinification
The Barbanera Special Selection 2018 is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo Nero, and Syrah/Shiraz. The grapes are carefully selected and lightly dried using the appassimento method ("leggermente appassite"), a process that produces concentrated aromas and a rich texture. This traditional approach is combined with modern techniques, resulting in a wine with an alcohol content of 14% and exceptional complexity.
Perfect Combinations
This wine pairs perfectly with roast beef, aged cheeses, and typical Apulian dishes. Its versatile structure and rich aromas make the Barbanera Special Selection an excellent choice for a variety of meals and occasions.
Serving tips and storage potential
Serve the wine slightly chilled, at a temperature of 16-18°C, to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Although this wine is ready to drink immediately, it can age for up to five years under proper storage conditions, further deepening its complexity.
