From the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, Italy, comes Codici Appassimento Rosso, a wine that embodies the warmth and rustic charm of its terroir. Crafted by Masseria Tagaro, this wine is an invitation to experience the Appassimento winemaking method. Imagine the gentle embrace of the Mediterranean sun as it dries the grapes, concentrating their sugars and intensifying their flavours. This technique imparts a unique character, a deep, rich complexity that sets it apart.
This full-bodied red is a symphony of ripe dark fruit, predominantly plum and cherry, intertwined with subtle hints of spice and dried herbs. The tannins are soft and supple, lending a velvety texture to the palate, while a refreshing acidity provides balance and structure. On the nose, it unfolds with aromas of black cherry, fig, and a touch of cinnamon, reminiscent of a warm, inviting Italian kitchen. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark chocolate and ripe fruit.
Codici Appassimento Rosso is a versatile companion to a wide range of culinary delights. Its robust character makes it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes like grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or osso buco. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, pasta dishes with rich tomato sauces, or even a simple charcuterie board. For a truly authentic experience, serve it alongside traditional Puglian dishes like orecchiette with sausage or fava bean puree with chicory.
Why Masseria Tagaro? Because they are really passionate about their vines and treat them with utmost care. They are also committed to sustainable viticulture practices, so you can be sure that your drinking wine helps maintain the local biodiversity. A taste of Puglia, in every sip. A perfect experience is waiting for you!
