Quality is not in hurry

This brand embraces a line of wines produced in different areas of the region of Apulia. It has become one of the most representative brand of Poggio Le Volpi thanks to its winning packaging, its versatility at the table and the pleasantness of drinking. Although the brand is was born with theintent of representing Apulia in its most modern form, Gran Appasso Rosso Aged in Oak, ottenuto da uve leggermente appassite, recovers an ancient farming technique, probably prior to the first vinification and farming methods of Vitis Vinifera. It consists to leave the grape on the plant beyond the full maturation to let it loses water, concentrating sugar and acid in order to make the grape stronger in case of a longer storage.
This technique reaches Apulia, and in the area of Salento somebody understands that, pressing raisins, it gets a richer and more concentrated must, from which a more robust wine, durable and long-lived, very important features for trading at that time. For this reason this wine gets place in the tradition, and that is why, Poggio Le Volpi produced Gran Appasso Rosso Aged in Oak: a full-bodied wine, satisfying and long-lived, which celebrates tradition of this great land.

Then the Grand Appasso Primitivo Appassimento, new top of the range and leader of a brand now synonymous with quality, tradition and innovation, and the Gran Appasso Susumaniello, another sample of the apulian tradition. New in the range are the Gran Appasso Primitivo IGP, a simpler version of the grape, and Gran Appasso Pinot Grigio, a grape that is always of great interest.
