THE WINE

The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso of the Villa Vitas winery is produced with 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are located in Strassoldo, a small town in the municipality of Cervignano del Friuli in the province of Udine in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Villa Vitas is located in the heart of a centuries-old park in the territory of the DOC Friuli Aquileia; here the soil is of alluvial origin, therefore rich in clay and sand.

THE WINEMAKING

After the harvest, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. The winemaking takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Refinement also takes place in steel and after assembly and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red with elegant violet reflections. The aroma is intense and rich with pleasant hints of red fruits that leave room for spicy notes of sweet spices. Dry and well structured on the palate, the tannins are evident but well integrated. The correspondence between aromas and flavor is also good. Persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect with red meats and game but also with poultry. Must try with cold cuts
