Gran Passione
Veneto Rosso Red Blend
This wine utilizes the "Apassimento" method of drying the Merlot & Corvina grades before crushing them. The result is a rich hearty nose full of dried fruit, notably dates & figs. The hearty notes carry over to the body with added flavors of black cherry and cocoa on the finish. Soft unobtrusive tannins make this an excellent wine to have by itself, and it also paired well with traditional polish periogi. Excited for this to be one of our wedding wines! ($13.5) [1/23/19]

Jun 1st, 2023On the nose, this is blackberry and violets. On the palate, this evokes a blackberry liqueur with Dutch licorice presenting right at the entry... Some bark too, but not in a dirty way. Lumber mill. This wine is not rustic at all but more savory in a classy dinner party way. The tannins are not the show here either but rather provide a soft bed for all that blackberry... The floral goes all the way from the nose through to the finish with a medium length. In our area this was a great, great value that I'll keep an eye out for!

Dec 9th, 2020Ripasso Style full bodied red. Blend of Merlot and Corvina. Rich and dark in color. Intense blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Concentrated and bold, but with very soft tannins.
