Christian Patat Appassimento Magnum 2021
About the wine
Christian's Appassimento is rich and ravishing - and twice its normal size!
- Christian's best-selling Italian blockbuster Appassimento remains one of our most popular wines of all time. This summer, we're treating you to a BIG 1.5L magnum as your reward for supporting independent winemakers around the world.
- Rich, smooth and satisfyingly powerful, every drop of this dark, brooding wine is jam-packed with tantalisingly intense fruit, all wrapped in a big, oaky hug. It's a red lover's dream, and at twice the size of a standard bottle, it'll look incredibly impressive on your garden table... even standing next to a mountain of barbecued burgers and sausages.
- Christian leaves the juicy grapes to sunbathe in the southern Italian sunshine - sending the flavour through the roof. The result is a wine that roars with power and muscle, but also charms you with that unmistakable Italian charm.
