The Biscardo family have been crafting wines in Soave for over 150 years, now led by brothers Maurizio and Martino. Enigma is their flagship appassimento Red Wine, made from 100% Sangiovese sourced from the Rubicone in Emilia-Romagna, where grapes are left to naturally shrivel on the vine before a slow, careful vinification. Awarded Gold at both Mundus Vini 2024 and Berliner Wein Trophy 2024.

Why You'll Love It

This is appassimento at its most refined. The drying process concentrates the fruit and deepens the wine's natural complexity, producing a full-bodied red of real intensity and elegance. Soft, sweet tannins and a lingering finish make it as approachable as it is impressive, offering outstanding quality and value for a double Gold medal wine.

Vineyard and Production.

Grapes are harvested in late autumn, by which time they have naturally shrivelled on the vine, beginning the drying process. Using the appassimento method, they are then left to dry in baskets until December after careful manual harvest and selection, with air circulation preventing mould formation. At the end of December, maceration occurs slowly at low temperatures, and the wine remains on its lees until March, enhancing texture and complexity.

Tasting Notes.

Intense purple-black in colour with a harmonious bouquet of red and black berries. The palate is poised and perfectly balanced, with soft, sweet tannins providing a lingering, expressive finish.

Perfect Pairings.

An excellent match for red meats and aged cheeses. Also well suited to slow-braised dishes, wild boar ragu and hearty winter stews.
