Appassimento Quattro Passi 2020 & 2021

Quattro Passi Appassimento Rosso Veneto IGT is a rich, smooth and full-bodied Italian red wine from Veneto, crafted by Villa degli Olmi in an Amarone-inspired Appassimento style that appeals to customers searching for premium Italian red wine, Appassimento red wine, smooth spicy red wine and food-friendly Veneto reds. Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this award-winning red delivers the depth, warmth and generous fruit concentration that make Appassimento wines such a standout choice for dinner parties, gifting and hearty meals.

In the glass, Quattro Passi shows a deep red colour with intense fruity notes, followed by a palate that is soft, pleasantly spicy and beautifully rounded, finishing long with balanced persistence. The grapes are dried using the traditional Appassimento method to intensify flavour and texture, creating a bold yet approachable red with a plush mouthfeel and an easy sense of richness. This makes it an excellent listing for shoppers looking for Amarone-style red wine without the Amarone price tag, or for anyone wanting a smooth Italian red with fruit, spice and body.

Sourced from Veneto and labelled Rosso Veneto IGT, Quattro Passi combines regional character with broad appeal. CellarsMarket’s current listing notes volcanic, marine fossil and limestone soils, while the producer describes it as a refined blend of red grapes from the Veneto region, made to express ripe fruit, spice and structure. Decanting before service and pouring at around 18°C helps open the bouquet and show the wine at its best.

For food pairing, Quattro Passi Appassimento Rosso Veneto IGT is ideal with red meats, duck, aged cheeses and spicy dishes, making it a versatile Italian red for roast dinners, entertaining platters and rich winter meals. With a suggested cellaring window of 3 to 5 years, it also suits customers who want a bottle they can enjoy now or hold short term.
