Classification
D.O.C. ISONZO
Grape Variety
100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes.
History
A grapevine of antique Friulan origins with
distinct characteristics, but previously confused with other vines:
Refosco d’Istria, di Faedis, di Rauscedo, Refoscone, etc.
The best of all Refosco varieties, it is certainly the finest Friulan
red grape variety. Already renowned in the 1700s.
Characteristics
Granite red colour tending towards violet,
its intense bouquet is forest-scented with wild blackberry notes.
Tasty, lightly tannic and slightly bitter, it has a pleasant, persistent
aftertaste. Young and vinous, fragrant, lightly herbaceous.
Vinification
Upon the grapes arrival in the winery they
were immediately separated from the cluster and poured into vats.
There were two manual re-assemblages daily with a complete re-mixing
of the grape skins. The fermentation, although not mechanically
controlled, almost always maintained a temperature of 28°, ideal
for proper colour and tannin content. After 12 days the wine was
drawn and pressed. After a month left in stainless steel vats, the
wine was poured into Slavonian oak casks and aged for 8 months.
