The Collezione Beatrice Salento Rosso Appassimento from the Pirovano winery is a masterpiece rooted in the rich history of Italian winemaking. The winery's origins date back to 1850, when Amadio Pirovano, originally a shoemaker, decided to give up his craft and dedicate himself entirely to his true passion: wine. The family business, founded together with his sons Constantino and Antonio, began as a modest restaurant serving local wines. Over time, their love and expertise for wine evolved into a professional winery. Today, Pirovano produces not only wine but also high-quality spumanti under the name Casa Coller. Their wines, such as the Salento Rosso Appassimento, tell a story of tradition, innovation, and passion.
Exceptional Fragrance and Aromas
The Collezione Beatrice Salento Rosso Appassimento is an expression of depth and complexity, characteristic of the Malvasia Nera, Montepulciano, and Negroamaro grape varieties from the sunny vineyards of Puglia. The wine has an alluring, dark ruby red color with purple hues that testifies to its richness. Upon opening the bottle, deep aromas of dried cherries and dark chocolate emerge, complemented by subtle hints of spice. These aromas promise a rich and layered flavor profile that delights the senses and invites deep exploration with every sip.
A taste experience like no other
The Collezione Beatrice Salento Rosso Appassimento is affectionately called the "baby Amarone" due to its similarity to the famous Amarone wines in the appassimento technique used, in which the grapes are partially dried to increase concentration. This results in a rich, full-bodied wine that offers a lively balance between ripe, sultry fruit and crisp acidity. Soft tannins and flavors of tobacco and leather intertwine seamlessly with the fruity core, creating a harmonious and lingering finish. Perfect for serving with a hearty lasagna or other savory dishes, this wine will undoubtedly enhance any meal and transform it into a culinary delight.
