Verso is a full-bodied, luscious wine made with a small percent of 'appassimento', or raisined, grapes. The wine is matured for 3-4 months in oak.
Rich and inviting, with lots of ripe and dried fruit. Full bodied and velvety. Very easy drinking.
It's the perfect wine to take to a party or to drink alongside, duck barbecued pork, chicken or mature hard cheeses.
60% Negroamaro, 35% Primitivo, (Zinfandel), 15% Malvasia Nera.
Not what it used to be
A year or two ago, this wine was extracted, full-bodied, with layers of sweet fruits from the "appassimento" (or "ripasso") style of winemaking. This 2015 vintage is no where near the yummy roundness in fruit and weight. Very disappointing. I am guessing the economy is tanking, so the patience and quality are out of the window.
Verso Rosso
Reminiscent of a Californian zinfandel. Jammy, full bodied loveliness.
