Venezia Giulia IGT Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2014 Villa De Puppi

The Refosco of Villa de Puppi was born in vineyards on the hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

It is produced with Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes, which are selected in the vineyard and harvested late to obtain a very colorful full-bodied must, with intense but elegant tannins. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in steel tanks and the wine follows an aging of 8 - 10 months, partly in steel tanks and partly in wood, where the tannins soften.

This wine has a very intense ruby red color, with purple reflections, impenetrable. The scent is typical, with hints of red fruit and pleasant notes of undergrowth, enriched with spicy hints due to the passage in wood. In the mouth it has an excellent structure, with elegant tannins and a marked softness. Overall, it is a balanced wine, with the right acidity and a persistent finish.

Ideal in combination with tasty first courses, it is perfect to accompany red and white meats, roasts and cheeses.
