Introduction:
The 2023 Bertoldi Gran Passione Rosso Appassimento is a bold and velvety red wine from Veneto, Italy. Made using the traditional appassimento method, it delivers rich fruit, spice, and smooth tannins in a lush and approachable style.
Terrior:
The vineyards are located in the Veneto region, where warm days and cool nights allow for ideal grape maturation. Grapes are partially dried before fermentation, concentrating sugars and flavors for depth and intensity.

Full-bodied and plush, offering flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and mocha. Smooth tannins and a rounded texture are supported by moderate acidity, giving the wine a rich but balanced profile.
Finish:
Long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, chocolate, and a touch of spice.
