About the wine
The 'Godfather of Naked Reds' - Christian's rich and ravishing Appassimento - has been given the bumper box treatment
-
Christian Patat’s blockbuster Appassimento is one of our most popular wines of all time. And being a maverick, Christian jumped at the chance to share it with you in a brand new way.
-
Every cubic inch of this 2.25L box is packed with uber-delicious juice made using his famous ‘Appassimento’ technique, where he leaves the grapes to sunbathe in the southern Italian sunshine - sending the flavour through the roof. Think top-class Ripasso or Amarone but at a fraction of the price.
-
Every drop of this dark, brooding wine is jam-packed with tantalisingly intense fruit, and a lick of chocolate and spice, all wrapped up in a big oaky hug. Show up to a dinner party with this bad boy under your arm, and you’ll make a boxed wine convert of anyone who crosses your path.

Meet the winemaker - Christian Patat
- There are legends, Naked legends, and then there’s Christian Patat. A man who turns everything he touches into liquid gold.
- In his day job as a consultant oenologist, Christian travels all over Italy helping lesser mortals make their wines taste amazing. That means he knows where all the best grapes hide out, and is in the box seat to snaffle them before anyone else can get their cheque book out.
- Having learnt his thang in Burgundy, Priorat and all over Italy, Christian knows exactly how to craft sensational wines, the proof of the pudding in his blockbuster Appassimento, nicknamed the ‘Naked Godfather of Big Reds’. It’s one of our most popular wines of all time and sells out every year!

Mudt have more!!
*Edit* I ordered 3 more boxes as I liked it that much. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 were undrinkable and like vinegar so had some how gone off. Only one of them were just like the original one I had. So due to this it has put me off getting it again. When new vintages come out. Looking at other people's reviews they also had the same problem of it being off. . Love love love this deep, full-bodied fruity red wine. Full of rich flavour. Would I buy this wine again? Definitely
Lovely - full bodied and smooth.
Nice with food or just having a glass on its own.
Great to have it in a box so that one person can have one glass anytime without worrying about opening a bottle that might not get drunk before it goes off.
Never fails to empress. Smooth red
Excellent wine
Just not for me
I truly can’t get enough of this beautiful red 🍷. Highly recommended.
It’s lovely, lovely red wine in a box!!! We’re complete lightweights and it was so lovely to be able to drink just one glass (or more) and the remainder was just as lovely a day or a week later.
Smooth, full of fruit and eminently drinkable!
