THE WINE

The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from the Ermacora winery comes from 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are in the hills of Ipplis in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Explaining this area of Friuli is difficult, you have to come and visit it to discover a series of terraced hills, protected by the Julian Prealps which enjoy the breezes of the Adriatic Sea. A set of vines alternating with woods rich in biodiversity, in short, a true paradise.

Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is an indigenous Friulian vine that owes its name to the scarlet red color of the pedicel, that is, the part that binds the berry to the stem. Refosco arrived in Friuli in 1452. A full-bodied wine with excellent acidity. A very classy wine.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is by hand. Once in the cellar, after destemming, the grapes macerate in steel tanks for a period that varies between 10 and 12 days. After the fermentation phases, the wine rests, in steel tanks, for at least 12 months. After blending and bottling, it rests for a few more months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense garnet red, typical of this vine. The aroma is intense, with pleasant notes of red fruit that leave room for hints of liquorice, finishing with light hints of hay. Good body and is well structured on the palate, a lively, complex wine with a nice savoury note that gives freshness. Tannins are present but well-smoothed. Excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

This Pignolo from Ermacora goes well with red meats, game and hard cheeses.
