Varietal: Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso
Tasting Notes:
This Refosco presents a deep ruby-red color with violet reflections. The nose is intensely fruity with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry. On the palate, it is harmonious and flavorful, with lively tannins and a light herbal note adding depth to its fresh fruit character.
Winemaking Process:
After harvest in late September, the grapes undergo maceration on the skins for 6-8 days in stainless steel tanks at 26-28°C, with gentle, short remontages to preserve a fresh, fruit-forward profile. After malolactic fermentation, 20% of the wine matures in French oak tonneaux (5 hl), and the remaining 80% in stainless steel tanks for six months, followed by two months in the bottle.
Perfect For:
This Refosco pairs wonderfully with red meats, roasts, poultry, rabbit, and semi-aged local cheeses.
