The Conte di Campiano Appassimento is produced in the hills of the southern part of the Apulia region, in the provinces of Lecce, Taranto, and Brindisi. The location is ideal for the Negroamaro grape, with abundant sunshine and cooling winds ensuring a calm growing season. The soil, composed primarily of clay and limestone, provides good drainage and sufficient moisture for the plants during the hot summers of the Salento region. The Conte di Campiano Appassimento is made from Negroamaro Passito grapes, which are dried on the vines for three weeks. This unique Appassimento technique makes the wine fuller, rounder, and smoother. Three weeks before harvest, the winemaker cuts the branches, depriving them of nutrients, and the sun does the rest. The hand harvest follows the drying period, giving the wine added depth.
The Conte di Campiano Appassimento is ruby red with orange hues. The aroma reveals intense aromas of ripe fruit and spices like cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg. The taste is refined and smooth, with notes of black and red fruit, licorice, vanilla, toffee, and spices. Every sip offers an exciting and surprising experience. The Conte di Campiano Appassimento is a perfect choice for wine lovers seeking a soft and refined red wine with a unique character. Thanks to the Appassimento technique and the excellent growing conditions in Puglia, this wine offers a rich and complex flavor experience. Treat yourself to a glass of this exceptional wine and be captivated by the intense aromas and refined flavors of the Conte di Campiano Appassimento.
