ABOUT THIS WINE
Neropasso Maurizio e Martino Biscardo 2019 is an IGT Veneto red wine from Mabis srl. Its unique character stems from the 'Appassimento' technique, a traditional grape-drying method that concentrates flavors and sugars, a process with roots in Roman winemaking. The Biscardo family, with a winemaking history in Veneto dating back to 1878, applies this ancestral knowledge alongside modern practices. The wine's origin in Veneto, a region with varied soil types including limestone and basalt, contributes to its complexity. The 2019 vintage specifically highlights the deliberate use of the Appassimento method to enhance the wine's profile.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Neropasso Maurizio e Martino Biscardo 2019 begins with a meticulous harvest, where only the best-selected grape bunches are hand-picked. These chosen bunches are then subjected to the 'Appassimento' technique, laid out in airy rooms to dry and concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following this drying period, the grapes undergo soft pressing. The resulting must is then fermented. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged for several months, with a portion resting in stainless steel tanks and another portion in large oak barrels (Tonneaux) for a duration of six months. This process aims to develop the wine's characteristic depth and complexity.
