Appassimento method

A millenary winemaking method

The method of drying the grapes is totally natural and used for the production of sweet white wines, for dessert wines or meditation wines (big reds). It’s a very ancient practice that precedes the Greek civilization and was used to preserve both the grapes and, later, the wine for a longer period of time, thanks to a higher sugar concentration.

With the drying method, grapes lose most of their original weight: water evaporates, while the sugar concentration increases, the result is a wine richer in both alcohol and sweetness, with aromas, colors and a taste profile that in the glass express unique and incomparable sensations.

The drying process can be on plant plant or on racks after harvest. The drying process on the plant is common in the south of Italy, here the grapes are left to over-ripen on the vine to reach a sugar content and more concentrated nutrients.
Drying grapes on racks is done after harvest, they are stretched out and left to dry in the air in a natural way.

At the origins of the knowledge of a territory suited to winemaking

Veneto is one of the regions where Appassimento style wines reache excellence. At the time of the ancient Romans these lands were famed for their red wine, a sublime nectar that enlivened tables and delicious banquets. The tradition continues today, and thanks to a millenary production method, made of alchemy, passions and legends, the matter is transformed into intense, full-bodied wines - such as Neroperso Appassimento Rosso Veneto Igt.

With this technique, which can be carried out both on plants and on racks after harvest, the grape preserves its precious treasure by eliminating the useless burden of water and increasing sugar content. The result is a wine rich in alcohol and sugar.
Through the process of drying on the plant, the grape will continue to have water from the vine and is widely used in the south of Italy. Drying the grapes on racks is used in the north, and has been a tradition in winemaking, especially in Veneto, for centuries. Here, the grapes are left to dry on racks for about 60 days, in order to obtain a higher sugar concentration. This enhances the aromas and fruitiness of the starting grapes. Neroperso is the pure expression of Appassimento Veneto, presenting aromas, colors and flavours which in the glass express unique and incomparable sensations.

The production Appassimento style wines in Veneto is driven by an ancient knowledge rich in history, anecdotes and tales of the vineyard, memories that evoke a distant past that has its roots in a territory suited to winemaking.
