Red dry
Tenuta Giustini Calùra Appassimento Rosso Puglia 2024 – "Calùra" means "heat" in Italian, and the wine’s style reflects this—radiating the warmth of the Puglian sun: soft, slightly sweet, and rounded. The grapes are left to dry on the vine for 15–20 days. This is followed by maceration and an 8-day alcoholic fermentation, using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 24–26°C.
The wine is aged for 3 months in French oak barrels. Deep ruby-red in color, it reveals aromas of ripe fruit, strawberry jam, blackberries, and dried plums. Elegant, enveloping notes of cocoa and tobacco add complexity. On the palate, ripe berries dominate, while a juicy texture creates a long-lasting finish.
Residual sugar content: 12.75 g/l.
Serve at 14–16°C with pizza, vegetable and meat stews, or chocolate desserts.
