Gran Passione Rosso opens with an excellent aroma of prunes, plums and sweet berries plus plenty of cocoa and vanilla. Taking a sip reveals similar to the flavors to nose but they combine seamlessly in the mouth in this full-bodied and delicious wine. Add in some wonderfully integrated spice, a super smooth and velvety mouthfeel, good acidity and great balance and you have a winner. It ends very long with touches of chocolate and fruit. Great stuff!

This is a fantastic price for a wine made using partially dried grapes (appassimento method) since more grapes are needed in the production. It is a similar process as Amarone, although the grapes are dried much longer there.
