3 Generazioni Appassimento Rosso Puglia IGT

The 3 Generazioni Appassimento Rosso Puglia IGT is a bold, velvety red wine from the Puglia region of Southern Italy, produced by the Menzatia winery.

Crafted using the traditional appassimento method—the grapes (mainly Primitivo) are partially dried on the vine to concentrate sugars and flavors—this wine is known for its intense, “jammy” character.
