Peppery red berry fruit and a supple smooth texture. Medium to almost full-bodied. This doesn't taste like the extracted Appassimento style in a good way. Very savoury.

Perfect Pasta and Tomato Sauce Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a wine you just want to keep drinking, glass after glass, bottle after bottle. Loaded with red berries, black cherry, warm spice. A very inviting wine, case-worthy. 90 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
This robust Italian red wine takes its name -- Arele -- from the wooden trays that were traditionally used to dry the grapes, or a portion of them, to make Appassimento wine. The 2012 vintage has intense dark red fruit and polished tannins. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
