WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Gran Passione Appassimento Organic involves organic viticulture practices in Puglia, Italy. A key technique is the appassimento method, where a portion of the harvested grapes are partially dried. This process concentrates the natural sugars, acidity, and flavor compounds within the grapes, leading to a more intense and complex wine. The dried grapes are then blended with other varietals, including Malvasia Negra, Negroamaro, and Merlot, before undergoing fermentation. The producer, ViniMundi, emphasizes a philosophy of making wine in harmony with nature, adhering to organic, sustainable, and natural farming principles.
