Barbanera, Special Selection Toscana da Uve Leggermente Appassite 2023

Barbanera Special Selection Toscana da Uve Leggermente Appassite 2023 is a rich and elegant Tuscan red made from slightly dried grapes, giving it extra depth, concentration, and a beautifully rounded style. Its combination of ripe fruit, subtle spice, and velvety tannins reflects the warmth and tradition of Tuscany, where appassimento-inspired techniques have long been used to enhance character and intensity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, intense red color with delicate purple reflections. The nose opens with generous aromas of red fruit, cherry, and black cherry, lifted by sweet spice and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with a silky texture and a plush, velvety feel. The tannins are soft but well-structured, giving the wine both immediate appeal and enough backbone to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from Tuscany and is made from grapes that are harvested slightly late and lightly dried before vinification, a method that naturally increases concentration and richness. The result is a more expressive wine with enhanced fruit intensity, smooth texture, and added aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
A great match for roasted red meats, game, and mild cheeses. Serve it at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 20-30 minutes if you want to bring out even more of its aromatic depth and soften the tannins.
