Neropasso Rosso IGT Veneto

The Neropasso is made from Corvinone, Corvina, and Cabernet grapes, using the typical “appassimento” method. Some of the grapes used for this wine are dried, which is called the ‘appassimento’ method. This is a unique technique characteristic of wine production in the Veneto region. Its roots go back to ancient times, dating to the Roman era. The grapes are dried before pressing. The necessary experience for drying the grapes for Neropasso is essential. To produce an excellent wine, the ‘appassimento’ method is crucial. It is a very critical and delicate phase of winemaking.

The grapes must be perfectly ripe and healthy when selected during manual harvest. The thinnest bunches are chosen, with the grapes not too close together, to allow air circulation. The grapes are placed in large perforated plastic crates to ensure excellent ventilation. The crates are stacked in the fruit storage room, a large airy space, and the grapes are periodically checked to ensure the appassimento process occurs perfectly.

This wine has an intense ruby red color. On the bouquet, it is spicy with hints of cherries, black cherries, and plum compote. Fine and velvety on the palate, with a persistent finish and soft tannins.

This wine is delicious with pasta, white and red meats, fresh and aged cheeses.
