OCCI Rosso Leggermente Appassito is a rich and expressive Italian red wine made using the leggermente appassito technique, where the grapes are lightly dried before fermentation. This gentle drying process concentrates the sugars, flavors, and aromas in the grapes without producing an overly sweet wine, resulting in a red that is fuller-bodied and more flavorful than standard wines. On the nose, it typically shows aromas of ripe red and dark fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, with subtle hints of spice, dried herbs, and soft cocoa or vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, the wine is smooth and round, with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish, making it ideal for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
