Region:Sicily
When we first launched the Deppaso Nero d'Avola Leggermente Appassito we asked winemaker Fabrizio Vella whether it was possible to create a barrel aged version of this stunning red. So, he took a proportion of this wine and tucked it away into large oak vats until it was ready. Now we are excited to release this even more complex Appassito, made from two of his top parcels of Nero d'Avola grapes. The first parcel offers up purity and red berry varietal character with a second passito parcel adding richness and a dried fruit layer. Then the careful maturation adds an additional component of sweet spice and a lovely lick of oak on the finish. This is truly something to savour.
