🍷 Rocco's Selezione – Primitivo Appassimento
────────────────────────
Rocco’s Selezione Primitivo Appassimento is a powerful, rich red wine from Puglia, whose intensity is created by the traditional Appassimento process. As with Amarone, the grapes are dried for several weeks after harvesting. This concentrates the aromas, sugar, and extracts, giving the wine its dense fruit, velvety structure, and typical warmth. With 14.5% alcohol, it displays the full, Mediterranean ripeness of Southern Italy.
