Vintage Report
This wine is definitely a tongue-twister. Appassionante is a mouthful. Literally, because the aroma and flavor are mouth-filling. The name derives from the Appassimento technique, borrowed from Amarone. Some of the grapes are dried before pressing, which makes the aroma and flavor fuller and more concentrated. Thanks to a period of aging in oak barrels, Cielo Appassionante Veneto 1908 gains that extra bit of power.

This red wine is produced by the Cielo winery. This all-rounder from northern Italy has an impressive track record. For over a century, Cielo has guaranteed accessible and affordable wines without compromising on quality.
