The palate is soft and mouth-filling, with juicy dark berry fruit joined by cassis and sweet cherry. There is a touch of natural sweetness through the middle, balanced by fresh fruit and a subtle savoury edge rather than heavy tannin. Mediterranean herbs add a little extra character as the wine opens in the glass. Smooth, rounded and easy-going on the finish, with blackberry and cherry lingering behind.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eItaly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003ePuglia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003en\/a\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003en\/a\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e0.0%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly: Vegan, Vegetarian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMundus Vini – Gold Medal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoppio Passo built its reputation around the ripe, generous red wines of southern Italy, particularly Primitivo, so Rosso Alternativa sets itself a fairly ambitious task – keeping that warm, dark-fruited personality while taking the alcohol away. The wine is first made conventionally before passing through spinning cone columns, a gentle dealcoholisation system that separates and preserves the volatile aroma compounds before removing the alcohol. Those aromas can then be returned, helping retain the blackberry, cherry, fig and herbal character of the original wine. The result is deliberately fuller and softer than many alcohol-free reds, with the fruit-forward personality associated with southern Italy still firmly at the centre.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
