Ca' Vittoria Appassimento Rosso Gold Release 2025
Ca' Vittoria Appassimento Rosso Gold Release is a popular and award-winning red wine sourced from the Salento area of Puglia. To achieve its signature richness, the winemaking team expertly blends Negroamaro, Merlot, and Primitivo, allowing the grapes to remain on the vines late into October. This delayed harvest relies on the traditional appassimento method. The ripe fruit matures on the vine for an additional fifteen days, naturally losing half of its weight and moisture to highly concentrate the sugars. Following a rigorous manual harvest, the grapes are pressed and the skins remain in the must for an extended period to extract deep flavour and a vivid ruby colour. The wine then rests in oak for up to four months to build a smooth, rounded texture. The result is a deeply concentrated and incredibly moreish pour. In the glass, it delivers characteristic notes of dark plum and sweet raisins. It is a fantastic bottle to open for a relaxed evening, pairing brilliantly with slow-cooked beef, a hearty ragù, or a board of mature hard cheeses.
