Epicuro Appassite Puglia

The Epicuro Appassite is back. We've had to wait a while, but one of our best-selling Italian wines is back in the selection at perfectewijn.nl. Epicuro previously focused primarily on varietal wines (wines made from a single grape variety). However, Epicuro's creativity continues to amaze us. When Epicuro Appassite was launched a few years ago, it was an instant success. We're not surprised; it's a sublime red wine at a fantastic price. So much flavor, it's almost unbelievable!

Appassimento wine from Epicuro

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!

Eating with Epicuro Appassite

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.
