Tenute Fiorebelli, Tenute Fiorebelli Fiorebella Appassimento Rosso del Veneto 2023

Tenute Fiorebelli Fiorebella Appassimento Rosso del Veneto 2023 is a rich, velvety Italian red shaped by the traditional appassimento method. Made from Corvina and Merlot, it combines concentrated dark fruit with soft tannins, chocolate and warming spice. This style of partially dried-grape winemaking is deeply associated with Veneto and is also central to the region’s celebrated Amarone tradition.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep, inviting red colour. Its intense nose opens with ripe cherries, plums and blackberries, followed by notes of dried fruit, chocolate and subtle sweet spice. The combination of mature fruit and oak-derived nuances gives the wine an alluring, generous character. On the palate, Fiorebella is full-bodied, rounded and smooth, with flavours of ripe plum, black cherry and dried fruit complemented by chocolate and warm spices. Soft tannins create a plush, velvety texture, while refreshing acidity keeps the concentrated fruit balanced. The finish is long, rich and spicy, with lingering dark-fruit and chocolate notes. It is approachable now, offering immediate appeal in its generous, easy-drinking style.

Production
The wine is made from Corvina and Merlot grapes grown in Veneto. A substantial portion of the hand-harvested grapes is dried after picking, allowing them to lose water and concentrate their sugars, aromas and flavours. Following fermentation, the wine is blended and part of it is matured in French and American oak barriques, contributing additional layers of chocolate, spice and softness.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C with grilled beef, lamb, game, hearty stews and rich Italian pasta dishes. Its ripe fruit and smooth texture also make it a natural partner for mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but allowing the wine to breathe for around 20–30 minutes can help open its aromas and further soften its already rounded character.
