Description

The Paralupi Appassimento Rosso Puglia IGP - Magnum from Varvaglione winery is a wine that enchants enthusiasts and experts with its robust structure and intense bouquet. Produced in Puglia, a region renowned for its distinctive wines, this red is made using the appassimento technique, which involves drying the grapes before fermentation to concentrate sugars and aromas.

In the glass, Paralupi presents itself with a deep ruby red color, which preludes a nose rich in aromas of ripe fruit like plums and blackberries, enriched by spicy notes of vanilla and chocolate, due to aging in barrels. On the palate, it offers a full and enveloping flavor, with well-balanced tannins and remarkable aromatic persistence.

Ideal to pair with structured dishes such as red meats, game, and aged cheeses, Paralupi Appassimento is perfect for special occasions and to provide a high-level tasting experience. Serve at a temperature of 18°C to fully appreciate its complexity and aromatic richness.
