THE WINE

The Arbis Ros DOC of the Borgo San Daniele winery is produced with 100% Pignolo grapes grown in Ziris in the municipality of Cormons in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is a native vine that the winery has been able to recover and create a high level wine that well represents the area it is coming from.

THE WINEMAKING

After the manual harvesting, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. The winemaking takes place in the traditional way with maceration on the skins that lasts about 15 days. The wine then ages for 12 months in oak barrels of various sizes. After bottling, the wine rests for several months (varies according to the vintage), in the cellar.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red. The aroma is elegant, with a pleasant hint of red fruits that leave room for light scents of black pepper. Fresh and harmonious on the palate: the tannins are well integrated and silky. Excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with red meat, hard cheeses and game. Must try with grilled meat.
