Old World Cuvee 99 (99 Points Luca Maroni)

The Old World Cuvée 99, a showpiece from Puglia, is a beautiful example of the refined appassimento technique. This method, in which overripe grapes are dried to release their moisture, allows for a natural concentration of aromas. Often considered a "baby Amarone," the Cuvée 99 has received a remarkable 99 points from Luca Maroni, a testament to its exceptional quality. This technique results in a wine with rich structure, soft tannins, and an explosion of flavors, including ripe cherries, plums, and wild berry jam. The addition of a touch of vanilla and spicy notes, along with a natural sweetness, completes the experience.

An aroma and taste sensation

Upon tasting the Old World Cuvée 99, one is immediately struck by its deep ruby ​​red color. The bouquet is rich with cherry and raspberry notes, creating an inviting aroma. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, warm, and characterized by a deep blackcurrant aroma. The flavor and aroma profile is further enriched with notes of macerated cherries, plum jam, and elegant spicy notes. The result is a wine with a bold character and a great personality, a true reflection of the passion and dedication that went into its creation.

Old World Cuvee 99 a wine of Care and Tradition

Cuvée 99 is more than just a wine; it is the product of a careful selection of sun-dried grapes from the warm, hilly, and flourishing wine-growing region of Puglia. After drying, the grapes lose weight, which leads to an increase in their aromatic concentration. Puglia's soil and climate contribute to the growth of vines with healthy, fragrant fruit. These elements combine to make Cuvée 99 an exceptional wine that captures the essence of its origins.

Vinification: A Delicate Process

The vinification of the Old World Cuvée 99 is a delicate process that begins with the appassimento of carefully selected grapes on the vine. The dried grapes, rich in natural aromas and sugars, allow us to produce a sensational wine, laden with fruity and spicy notes. This vinification process creates a wine of consistent quality that retains its character over the years. The Old World Cuvée 99 is therefore not only a wine for the connoisseur but also a tribute to Puglia's rich winemaking tradition.
