WINE MAKING PROCESS
This is The Bomb Appassimento is produced using the traditional Appassimento technique, where harvested grapes are dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors before pressing. This process is followed by aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels, which contributes notes of coffee and chocolate. The wine is a blend of Negroamaro, Zinfandel (Primitivo), and Cabernet Sauvignon, with the specific proportions designed to create a full-bodied and intensely flavored red wine. The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in Puglia, Italy.
