THE WINE

The Pulse from the Le Due Torri winery is a red wine, a bland of 43% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rossof, 43% Schioppettino and 14% Tazzelenghe grapes. What makes this wine unique? After harvesting, the grapes remain on racks to dry for three months. The result is a complex and fresh wine, really remarkable.

We are in Corno di Rosazzo, an area of Friuli in the heart of the DOC Friuli, particularly suited to cultivating vines. Here, the winemakers are of few words but very attached to their land and traditions.

Another watchword of the Le Due Torri winery is biodiversity; four hectares of natural forest embrace the vineyards, creating a unique microclimate.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest at Le Due Torri is always manual; in this case, it takes place around mid-October and once selected, the best grapes are left on racks to dry for three months. The grapes macerate for 45 days and then ferment in steel with the addition of selected yeasts. The refinement lasts about 36 months with weekly bâtonnages and takes place in 500-litre tonneaux of medium-toasted French oak. After blending and bottling, the wine rests in the cellar for a few more months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby with violet reflections. The aroma is intense, with pleasant hints of red fruits such as cherries and berries, which leave room for traces of cherries in alcohol and spicy scents. Complex but fresh on the palate. Full-bodied and very well structured with smooth tannins. The correspondence between aromas and flavours is excellent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Because of its complexity, it is an excellent meditation wine, but try also with blue cheeses.
