Appassimento Technique
from Sip & Grow The Podcast Hosted by Nicole Di Pasquale
I came across a red blend from Argentina that uses the appassimento technique. The most known wine for using this method is Amarone (from Italy) but this is the first time I try this style wine from another country. Today's blend is made up of 45% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Bonarda and 5% Cabernet Franc. I dive deep into what this process of appassimento means and give you insight on the producer while opening up this 2015 vintage to taste. Milamore, today's wine, is inspired by the authentic style of Amarone wine. Tune in now to get all the details and see if this one is just as delicious as Amarone. 1:15 - Intro to today's wine 2:30 - Appassimento technique 4:22 - Naturally dried grapes 5:05 - Sustainable practice journey 6:10 - Grapes in red blend 8:00 - Visual analysis 8:40 - Olfactory analysis 9:35 - Tasting notes 11:22 - Foods to pair this wine with 11:55 - Rating for the wine Today's wine: Bodega Renacer Milamore 2015 $30 (Bought at Graziano's market) Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
