Christian Patat Appassimento 2015
About the wine
Christian uses the Italian sunshine to dry out these grapes and make them EXTRA concentrated, a rich and powerful wine that's silky smooth.
- Christian has created the Naked Godfather of the big reds - and it's at a price you won't believe.
- He semi-dried grapes in the Italian sunshine to create a deliciously intense wine like nothing we've tasted before (this is the Ripasso technique normally used only at very expensive luxury wines like Amarone)
- Every delicious sip is jam-packed with tantalizingly intense fruit. It's dark, brooding, powerful and practically bursting with sumptuous Italian charm... and do we detect chocolate?
