Description
From the iconic Tomassi family, Arele is named for the traditional wooden trays used to dry the grapes selected for use in making appassimento wines. The blend here is 70% Corvina with 10% apiece of Rondinella, Oseleta and Merlot. Expect an intensely flavourful yet elegant wine showing dark fruit, spices and a subtle kiss of sweetness.

Tasting Notes
The Arele is named for the traditional wooden trays that were used to partially dry grapes selected to make appassimento wines. It's a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Merlot and Oseleta, the latter being an ancient, rare and once almost-extinct variety. This is focused and spicy, with fresh red fruit, dark fruit and dried herbs. Long and poised, it's ideal for grilled meats and vegetables.
