Description

Imagine an Italian sunset captured in a bottle. That’s the essence of the Corte Fiore Appassimento from Lupi Reali. This isn’t just wine; it’s an experience, a journey through the sun-drenched vineyards of Italy, handcrafted with passion and tradition. The name, Corte Fiore, evokes images of a floral courtyard, a place of warmth and beauty, and that's precisely what this wine delivers.

Lupi Reali, while perhaps not as widely known as some of the larger Italian houses, represents the dedication to quality and the preservation of regional winemaking practices. Their commitment to the Appassimento method showcases their respect for tradition and their understanding of how to coax the most extraordinary flavors from their grapes. The Appassimento process is a labor of love, requiring patience and skill. Grapes are carefully selected and then left to dry for weeks, sometimes months, allowing them to shrivel and concentrate their sugars, acids, and flavors. This meticulous process results in a wine of exceptional depth, richness, and complexity.

When you pour a glass of Corte Fiore Appassimento, you'll be greeted with a deep ruby-red hue, hinting at the treasures within. On the nose, the wine unfurls a captivating bouquet of aromas. Think ripe red cherries and plums mingling with hints of dried figs and raisins. A subtle spiciness dances in the background, adding a touch of intrigue. The flavors mirror the aromas, delivering a luscious wave of red fruit that is both concentrated and elegant. The tannins are soft and velvety, providing a smooth and lingering finish. The subtle sweetness is perfectly balanced by the wine’s acidity, making it incredibly food-friendly.

This wine is versatile and pairs beautifully with a wide array of dishes. Its rich character makes it a perfect match for hearty Italian fare such as lasagna, osso buco, or aged cheeses. It's also exceptional with grilled meats, especially lamb or beef, as the wine’s tannins cut through the richness of the meat. For a truly delightful experience, try it with dark chocolate or a platter of dried fruits and nuts. The Corte Fiore Appassimento is best served slightly chilled, around 60-65°F (15-18°C), to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Allow the wine to breathe for at least 15 minutes before serving.

So, why choose the Corte Fiore Appassimento from Lupi Reali? Because it's a taste of authentic Italy, a testament to the art of winemaking, and a pleasure to drink. It's the perfect bottle to share with friends and family, to celebrate a special occasion, or simply to enjoy on a quiet evening. This is a wine that will transport you to the heart of Italy with every sip, leaving you wanting more.
