FEUDI SALENTINI APPASSIMENTO ROSSO DI PUGLIA 2020, Italia

We've been letting this breathe for about an hour before dinner and the extra concentration from the appassimento process really shows—it's got a chewy, dense texture that stands up to grilled meat without feeling heavy. Bottle didn't last long between two of us, and that's always a good sign.

The appassimento process really shows here—that extra concentration makes it feel bigger and richer than your usual Puglian red. Poured a glass with pasta last night and the structure held up beautifully. Exactly what I was hoping for at this price.
