Aristocratico Appassimento 2024
Aristocratico Appassimento is a full-bodied, richly concentrated red from Salento in southern Italy, crafted from Primitivo and Negroamaro using the traditional appassimento method. Produced by Enoitalia, a leading family-owned winery established in 1986 near Lake Garda, this is a wine of genuine power, warmth, and the soul of Puglia. Why You'll Love It The appassimento method, more commonly associated with Amarone in the Veneto , involves partially drying the grapes to intensify sugars, flavours, and aromas before fermentation. Applied here to two of Puglia's most characterful native varieties, the results are exceptional. Primitivo contributes deep, jammy dark fruit and warmth, while Negroamaro adds structure, spice, and the characteristic bitter-sweet depth that defines great Salento red wine. At 14.5% ABV, this is smooth and approachable yet complex enough to reward real attention. Vineyard and Production Primitivo and Negroamaro grapes are sourced from vineyards in Salento, Puglia, and partially dried using the appassimento method to concentrate sugars and flavours before fermentation begins. Careful fermentation and ageing produce the wine's characteristic concentrated, velvety texture and depth of character. Tasting Notes Deep ruby-purple in the glass, Aristocratico Appassimento opens with aromas of ripe plums and raisin. The palate is concentrated, smooth, and velvety, with rich notes of dried fig, warm spice, and tobacco, finishing long and satisfying with real southern Italian character. Perfect Pairings A natural match for rich cheeses, roasted meats, hearty pasta dishes, and game. Also excellent alongside slow-braised beef, lamb shanks, and dark chocolate desserts. The Blend Primitivo and Negroamaro.
Turno de Noche Malbec 2025
Turno de Noche Malbec is a vibrant, fruit-driven red wine inspired by the infectious energy of Mendoza after dark, when the city bursts into life with music, dancing, and colour. Crafted by Boutinot from high-altitude vineyards, this is juicy, aromatic Malbec brimming with character and approachable charm. Meet the Producer Boutinot has worked with trusted growers in Argentina for almost twenty years, sourcing top-quality fruit from the country's finest vineyard sites. Their approach is one of honest, minimal-intervention winemaking that showcases the purity and intensity of Malbec , Argentina's flagship grape, without compromise. Vineyard and Production Sourced from vineyards planted at over 1,000 metres above sea level in Mendoza , the high altitude allows Malbec to ripen slowly, developing rich, concentrated flavours while preserving its signature floral aromatics. Winemaking is deliberately gentle, using light extraction to highlight juicy blackcurrant and red berry fruit while protecting the violet lift that makes this variety so alluring. Tasting Notes A bright, lifted nose of freshly picked blackberries and violets. The palate is generous and fruit-forward, packed with ripe berry flavours and a touch of spice. Supple tannins and a weighty yet balanced mouthfeel lead to a long, fruit-charged finish. Grape Variety Malbec Perfect Pairings Perfect with a juicy steak sandwich, smoky BBQ ribs, or slow-cooked beef brisket. Also excellent alongside grilled chorizo, burgers, and hearty tomato-based pasta dishes. About the Region Mendoza is Argentina's most celebrated wine region, producing some of the world's finest Malbec from high-altitude vineyards in the shadow of the Andes.
