Appassimento Rosso Puglia Rocca Pagliara

This is a bit of a BFG; a big, warm, friendly wine from Puglia in southern Italy. Made from grapes that are left to dry on the vine, this particular vinification method – called apassimento – adds oomph and alcohol (just to warn you this is 14.5%). Rich and concentrated, it’s full of plum and fig flavours. Especially good with spaghetti bolognese.
