THE WINE

The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso of the Obiz winery is produced with 100% Refosco grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery and located near Aquileia in Friuli Venezia Giulia. This is a great area for the viticulture since Roman times, as evidenced by the numerous amphorae that were found inside the property. The alluvial soil, rich in clay and sand; the proximity to the Adriatic sea and the protection of the Julian Alps allow the cultivation of the vine with excellent results.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking which takes place in steel. Refinement also takes place in steel and once bottled, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

The Obiz winery practices integrated pest management and since 2017 has been cultivating its vines according to the regulations set out in the Disciplinary.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. The aroma is intense and complex with pleasant fruity notes of morello cherry and wild blackberry that leave room for hints of undergrowth. Sapid on the palate, it is a full-bodied wine with well-smoothed tannins and a nice persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with game and red meat but also with hard cheeses.
