What is Appassimento?

Appassimento is the process of natural partial dehydration of grapes to produce a greater concentration of colours, aromas and flavours in the wine. Since partially dried grapes also have a higher concentration of sugars, this system is often used to make sweet or very concentrated wines.

In the Veneto, where the technique dates back to the times of the Ancient Romans, grape drying is also regularly used for the production of dry wines, leaving them full-bodied, complex and relatively high in alcohol. Entirely made from grapes left to dry for a long period of time, Amarone is the supreme expression of the genre, while Recioto is its traditional sweet counterpart.

The Process

Grapes are picked a bit later to ensure ripeness – usually in mid-October. Then, they are left all winter to dry into raisins. Amarone grapes (Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella) take a long time to dry out over winter. During the roughly 120 days that this occurs, the grapes will lose 30–40% of their weight. The result is intense concentration and a very high sugar content, which in turn translates into 15% or higher alcohol levels. It also demands a premium price...but not our own Quattro Passi Appassimento.

Biodynamic Wine & Organic Vineyards

Modern biodynamic wine making often incorporates traditional methods such as Appassimento. When crafted from grapes grown in an organic vineyard, the result is a wine that reflects both heritage and sustainability.
