The blend of local grape varieties yields a symphony of aromas and tastes that dance on the palate.
This wine is a perfect example of how tradition can be used to make a high-quality wine. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red color, hinting at the depth and complexity within.

These enticing aromas create a sense of anticipation for the first sip. On the palate, the Passione Reale Appassimento is full-bodied and velvety, with a smooth texture and well-integrated tannins. The concentrated fruit flavors are balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a long, lingering finish. Hints of vanilla and oak add further complexity and elegance to the wine.
