Rosso Appassimento “Revisus” DOC, Scubla

Andrea’s had written on a post on the blog that we would only have imported an appassimento style wine when we had found a great one, a well balanced wine, a wine pleasant to drink, so we were really happy to hear that Roberto had made the wine and even happier after tasting. Finally we have an appassimento style wine for all lovers of the style.

This red wine, made with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Refosco, is aged in small French barriques and bigger barrels for about 10 months before being left to age in tanks for another year.

A full bodied red wine, with a nose with wild berries, roses and tobacco, it is balanced and aromatic with hints of black cherry on the palate. Ideal accompaniment for stews, fried food and semi-aged cheeses.
