THE WINE
The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso of the Zorzettig winery comes from 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes grown in the municipality of Spessa di Cividale in the eastern hills of Friuli. We are talking about a native grape variety already famous since 1700. We are talking about the best black grape variety in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is strictly manual, and only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. Both winemaking and aging get monitored with extreme attention. Once bottled, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being put on the market.
THE TASTING
Intense ruby red. The aroma is elegant, with pleasant fruity notes of raspberry alternating with hints of black cherry. Dry and velvety on the palate, the tannins are present but well polished. Full-bodied with a long and persistent finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect with red meats, game, and hard cheeses.
