WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Il Capolavoro Appassimento Rosso centers on the Appassimento technique, where grapes are dried to concentrate sugars and flavors, leading to a fuller body and higher alcohol content. This process is facilitated by Puglia's warm climate. Grapes are left on the vine longer to achieve the necessary sugar levels. Fermentation is typically conducted in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fruit intensity. While specific aging details are not provided, the wine is generally recommended for current drinking with potential for short-term cellaring.
