The history of wine: Amusing

Born with the 2021 vintage, the Spassoso it's much more than a simple red blend: it's the liquid manifesto of the confident, sunny, and optimistic attitude that has always distinguished Gorghi Tondi Estate. Rightfully placed in the “wines for good spirits” line, this wine was conceived with a very specific goal: to tell an idea of “contemporary drinking,” creating a product that is both extremely accessible and welcoming for newcomers, while still hiding a great production complexity capable of intriguing the most expert palates.
The allure of this wine begins with its very name, which conceals a brilliant play on words. “Spassoso” not only evokes the joy, fun, and lightheartedness of moments spent in company, but it subtly and playfully reveals the winemaking technique chosen for its creation: *appassimento*. Spassoso is, in fact, a harmonious blend of Nero d’Avola, Syrah and Perricone. The real secret behind its smooth, fruity character lies in the Perricone grapes (accounting for around 15–20% of the total volume): after being carefully harvested by hand, these bunches are left to rest and dry for around ten days in the drying room, before being vinified separately and blended with the rest of the wine.
To crown the identity of this label is a graphically impactful project. The visual guise of Spassoso is a tribute to multifaceted and typically Sicilian exuberance: a lively and colourful collage of images that juxtaposes symbols of art, nature, tradition, music, and passion. A true anthem to conviviality, for a wine born to bring a smile.
