The Paralupi Appassimento Rosso Puglia IGP - Jeroboam from the Varvaglione winery is a celebration of the opulence and richness that Puglia has to offer. Packaged in an impressive 3-liter Jeroboam format, this red wine is ideal for special occasions. The appassimento technique employed by Varvaglione involves the partial drying of the grapes before fermentation, resulting in a wine of extraordinary concentration and intensity.

This wine presents with a deep ruby red color and is characterized by a complex bouquet with hints of ripe fruit such as plums and cherries, along with spicy notes and a slight touch of vanilla due to aging in wood. On the palate, it is generously full-bodied with a pleasing persistence of flavors and soft, elegant tannins. Perfect to serve with rich meat dishes, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate, the Paralupi is a wine that promises to be the centerpiece of any table.
