I Cant't Get No Satisfaction IGP Pays d'Oc Rouge

IGP Pays d’Oc Appassimento. GRAPE VARIETY Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Appassimento. VINIFICATION Appassimento is the Italian word for "raisin." The technique, whatever the language, consists of letting the grapes dry to concentrate their sugars and tannins and to exacerbate their aromas. Some of the water in the grapes evaporates, around 30 to 45%. The grapes are harvested very late, left on the plant so that ripening reaches its peak, the bunches ripen slowly and dry on the vine. The flavor of the grains is enhanced, the aromatics and sugars reach very high concentrations. The tannins melt like silk. The color becomes darker, impenetrable to the eye. The work of selection and selection is intensified. Only the grapes dried on their vines are meticulously harvested and then vinified. Fermentation will last 70 to 80 days, then aging will continue in vats and time will do its work... SERVING TEMPERATURE 16-17°C. TASTING NOTES The black cherry color is surrounded by a deep purple aura. The bouquet is dominated by complex aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, plum and notes of small black fruits. On the palate, the wine covers the palate well, it is delicious, smooth and has a lovely, delicate acidity. The silky tannins are very well balanced and make this a warm wine. A long and fruity finish is on the menu! SERVING AND PAIRING It pairs perfectly with Mediterranean tapas, grilled red and white meats, and cheeses.
