How we made this wine

Just outside the historical trulli houses of white stone and neighbour with the Adriatic sea, you will find our vineyards. The grapes enjoy a long and warm summer, cooled by soft sea breezes. Under clear skies, it is easy to grow wine grapes with organic methods, keeping the soils healthy and alive.

As mornings turn slightly cooler in the middle of September, the grapes have reached their perfect ripeness. Now, it is time to begin the 'Appassimento' process. Consequently, the grapes are left to dry on the vine for two weeks under the Italian sun before they are picked by hand. During this time, they acquire aromas of dried fruit and lose around half of their weight. Resulting in a rich wine with an intense flavor.

When arriving to the winery, the grapes will ferment to a finished wine and then spend some time in oak. This will make the wine smoother and add aromas of vanilla, cocoa beans and spice.

Casa Marrone Appassimento is made of grapes thay you will barely find outside of Italy: 40% Montepulciano which adds juicy aromas of red fruit, 30% Lambrusco, 15% Sangiovese, and 15% Nero di Troia.
