The winery uses a unique winemaking process with a history of more than 3,000 years - Appassimento (Appassimento) to make this Camasella Appassimento Puglia IGT (LM96) red wine. The dead vine method requires the grapes to be left to dry naturally on bamboo mats for a long period of time before pressing. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also has certain risks. If the grapes are damp or rotted during the air-drying period, the grapes will not be able to be used for winemaking. Drying grapes causes the fruit to lose water and concentrate more sugar. When the grapes are pressed, you get only half the juice concentrate from the fresh grapes, but this also results in wines that are more alcoholic, darker in color, fuller in tannins, more fruity, and more balanced in structure. The most important wine critic in Italy, Luca Maroni (LM), gave this wine 96 points, and the highest he gave was only 99 points.

Merlot

Merlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, make Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.

Nero D’Avola

Nero d'Avola is "the most important red wine grape in Sicily" and is one of Italy's most important indigenous varieties. It is named after Avola in the far south of Sicily, and its wines are compared to New World Shirazes, with sweet tannins and plum or peppery flavors. It also contributes to Marsala Rubino blends.

Puglia has a Mediterranean climate, the soil is rich in calcium, and the topsoil is rich in iron, which is very suitable for grape growing. With year-round sunshine and a dry climate, Puglia is the place to be if you're looking for a red wine with ripe fruit and rich aromas.
