Description
Paolo Leo "Millefiori" Appassimento, Rosso Del Veneto IGT, Italy, 2019/20
Grapes: A blend of 60% Corvina & 40% Merlot, hand picked, oaked, 13g/L residual sugar (off-dry)
Producer Tasting Note:
The wine has a lovely and intense ruby-red colour with a bouquet reminiscent of cherries, dried fruit, chocolate and prunes. On the palate it is full-bodied, soft and round, with a pleasant spiciness and an amazingly long and lingering finish.
Approximately 60% of the picked grapes are placed in small wooden crates. The crates are then placed in the “fruttaio,” a well aerated loft, and are left there to dry at a controlled temperature and humidity until December. During this “appassimento” the grapes will lose up to 50% of their original weight in water, thus concentrating their colour, substance and aromas. The grapes which are not dried are immediately vinified. The two separate grape selections are then blend together and aged in French oak barriques for 12 months.
Food Match: Pork shank osso buco, roasted meat, game and aged hard cheeses. Pasta with meat sauces (ragu), mushroom-based pasta dishes, or even lasagna.
