Neroperso Appassimento | Veneto, Italy
Neroperso pays homage to a century old winemaking method of “appassimento” that was widely practiced throughout Mediterranean countries and little has changed over time.
Harvested late to achieve maximum flavours and a high abv, the best grapes – mainly Corvina – undergo a drying process for 60 days (this process is called “appassimento”) that concentrates the aromas and taste of the fruit. 20-25% of these grapes are used in the blend which undergoes a second fermentation in January (Amarone tends to undergo the same process but later - at the end of Feburary/March). Neropresso is then finished with a short time in oak.
