Refosco
Friuli Colli Orientali Doc
Identity and depth, in the sign of Refosco dal peduncolo rosso
Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections.
Typical of the variety, with balsamic and aromatic touches of eucalyptus, bay leaf, wild strawberry and raspberry, followed by tertiary notes of tobacco, leather, pink pepper and tar.
Dense, taut, crisp, enveloping and persistent, with salty tannins and echoes of ripe red fruit; the finish is long, balsamic, deep and saline.
