THE WINE

ThebRefosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso Vulpes of the Del Poggio winery is part of the Vulpes line; this line takes its name from the stream that crosses the property and recalls the presence of the typical animals of the Friulian hills, the foxes.

The winery cultivates its vineyards following the voluntarily integrated production specification of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, which aims to minimize technical means that impact the environment and promote a natural environmental balance.

THE WINEMAKING

The grape harvest is rigorously manual and takes place in October; a small part of the grapes is harvested when slightly overripe, while a small amount is left to dry in rooms with a constant temperature and humidity. The winemaking starts with a maceration on the skins, which lasts about ten days. The must then ferments in steel at a controlled temperature. After refinement, the wine is bottled and left to rest for at least twelve months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red. The aroma is elegant with pleasant hints of red fruits such as cherry, raspberry and blackberry, which leave room for sensations of sweet spices. The palate is harmonious with a well-present but well-smoothed and silky tannin and an excellent correspondence between the aromas and the flavour.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with red meat, game and hard cheeses. It deserves to be tasted with the typical dishes of the Friulian tradition.
