Appassimento | Classic
The appassimento method describes a traditional production process in which grapes are dried so that some of the water in the berries evaporates. This process results in a higher concentration of fructose and produces concentrated, opulent and slightly residual sweet wines. The duration of grape drying allows for different gradations: for example, grapes are dried for weeks, if not months, to produce a sweet passito wine. If, on the other hand, only a slightly higher alcohol content is desired, a drying period of about one week is sufficient. - Gerardo [TS09/22]

Calto · Rosso Veronese IGT 2018Marion, Veneto
Going with the flow has never been the intention of the Campedelli family, which is behind the Marion winery. This is evident not only in the unusual for the Veneto grape varieties such as Teroldego, but also in the fantasy cuvee 'Calto'. This prestigious wine is nothing other than a very personal interpretation of Amarone, which, however, cannot be marketed as such due to legal regulations. The proportion of Teroldego provides additional fire, accordingly, this wine is intense:
