Following the success of the Amarone della Valpolicella with the same distinctive label, the Fasolis are expanding their COLLEZIONE line with this Appassimento, bottled as Rosso Veronese IGT. So no Amarone and no Ripasso either, but the grapes for this country wine are also concentrated by drying, as is a centuries-old tradition in the region. In the first nose hints of malt candy, kola nut and balsamic vinegar. Then lots of dark cherry fruit, coconut and milk chocolate. On the one hand very engaging with a lot of extract sweetness and its supple tannins, a typical appassimento. Yet surprisingly fresh and stimulating thanks to its herbal and mentholic notes.
