Description

Ca Vittoria's Appassimento is a sumptuous and full-bodied red wine. It opens with a rich bouquet of dried cherries, figs, and plums, accented by notes of chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, featuring flavours of ripe dark fruits, raisins, and a touch of caramel, balanced by gentle tannins and moderate acidity. The finish is long and luxurious, with lingering impressions of dried fruit and a hint of sweet spice.

Ca Vittoria

Botter was founded in 1928 by Carlo Botter and his wife Maria, in a village near Venice. Originally selling local wines direct from barrel and demijohns, the company has grown to become one of the leading exporters in the north of Italy. Cà Vittoria represents their foray into southern Italy, using indigenous varieties and ‘appassimento’ drying techniques to create full bodied, silky red wines.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
