✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto region dates back to 1821, Velluto Appassimento is a tribute to the traditional Italian art of grape drying. The name 'Velluto'—meaning velvet—perfectly captures the luxurious, silky texture of this red blend, typically composed of Corvina and Merlot. Utilizing the appassimento technique, where a portion of the grapes is carefully dried to concentrate their sugars, acids, and aromatics, this wine delivers an intense profile of dark cherries, plum compote, and sweet spices. It represents a modern, highly approachable homage to the ancient drying traditions that have defined the Veneto's viticultural identity for centuries.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Zonin blev grundlagt i 1821 i Gambellaras bakkede landskab i Veneto og har gennem syv generationers dedikeret familielederskab udviklet sig til et af Italiens mest fremtrædende og anerkendte vindynastier. Under navnet Zonin1821 forener familien dybe vinbønder-traditioner med moderne innovation på tværs af Italiens vigtigste terroirs. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for sine skelsættende mousserende vine, anført af den ikoniske Prosecco Cuvée 1821 og den elegante Prosecco Rosé. Ud over de mousserende vine skaber Zonin en alsidig portefølje af klassiske stille vine – herunder udtryksfuld Valpolicella, fyldige Appassimento-rødvine og frisk Pinot Grigio delle Venezie.
