Appassimento

2014 Piemonte Barbera

The Ricossa Appassimento is a delightful red wine that showcases the rich heritage of the Piemonte region in Italy. Crafted from Barbera grapes, this 2014 vintage offers a captivating profile with medium body and bright acidity, making it both approachable and lively. The fruit intensity shines through with notes of ripe black cherries and dark plums, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spices from careful oak aging. Tannins are present but refined, providing a gentle structure that enhances the wine's overall elegance. As an off-dry wine, it leaves a pleasant mouthfeel, making it food-friendly and a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fireplace.
