REFOSCO DAL PEDUNCOLO ROSSO DOC FRIULI GRAVE - 750ml - 2020

The grapes harvested the first week of October are left to ferment in stainless steel tanks for about two weeks, during which time rémontage and delestage operations are carried out to extract colour and tannins from the skins. Following this step, and having reached the optimal level of alcohol, the wine is separated from the skins and left to mature in steel tanks (70%) and oak barrels (30%), where it begins to clarify by natural settling. Subsequently, as a result of the rigours of the harsh winter, it reaches microbiological equilibrium, and our only concern is to carry out decanting to separate the deposits formed on the bottom of the tank. The Refosco is then blended and bottled in late autumn after the harvest, with additional ageing in the bottle for three months. A deep ruby-red colour, it has an intense aroma, vinous with hints of cherry. With its dry taste and elegant, soft and well-rounded tannins to the fore, together with nice acidity.
