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.

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!
