Description

The Farina Apassilento Rosso offers a fragrant nose of red and black fruits, floral tones, and spice. The body is full, with lovely structure, and the fruit characters are intense in the mouth, supported by vibrant acidity and round tannins. The long maceration of the grape skins gives the wine a rich and full flavour, while still being quite soft and approachable.

The name "Appassilento" is a play on words of "appassimento", the technique of drying grapes before fermentation to concentrate their sugars, and the Italian word "lento", meaning slow, with the fermentation taking a long time at a cool temperature, and the wine resting on its lees before bottling.

Vinification

Crushing and destemming of the grapes right after the harvest. Maceration of the juice in contact with the skins, without fermenting, at a temperature of 10-12 ° C, for about 5-6 days. We then proceed with the introduction of yeasts and a fermentation carried out in two stages, always at low temperature. Then there’s a long rest of the wine on its lees with periodic “bâtonnage” in order to naturally obtain roundness, fullness and elegance.

Ageing

Stainless steel at controlled temperature. Following maturation in Slavonian oak barrels for a couple of months

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red with purplish hues. Fruity, black cherry, plum, blackberry and currant, floral of dried red flowers, spicy of black pepper. Full-bodied and soft, intense, with perfectly balanced tannins by a natural roundness and elegance.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
