CAPO ZAFFERANO
ROSSO APPASSIMENTO
PUGLIA IGT 2020
Capo Zafferano is proud to represent the rich traditions of Apulia in the Salento region in the heel of Italy’s boot. The area’s ancient soils and long, warm growing seasons are the ideal environment for varietals such as Negroamaro and Primitivo, known for their deep, dark colors, intense flavors, and high tannin levels equally balanced with fresh, natural acidity.
Appassimento is the process of naturally, partially drying the grapes on the vine to give a greater concentration of colors, aromas, and flavors. The grapes for the 2020 Rosso Appassimento dried on the vine for 15 days, and the wine is a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Merlot to help soften the structure for a more approachable wine.

“The Capo Zafferano 2020 Rosso Appassimento opens with intense aromas of blackberry, black cherries, prune, gingerbread, dried thyme, and freshly ground coffee beans. On the palate, the wine has pronounced flavors of black plum, prune, cinnamon, mocha, and dark chocolate. The fine-grained tannins and ripe fruit flavors are beautifully balanced by high acidity and lead to a long, lush finish.”
