The Winemaking

The grapes are manually harvested in September and placed on a single layer in 4 kg crates and 20 kg plateaoux which rest for a few days in a shed at room temperature. Once in the cellar, the grapes are pressed softly; natural fermentation follows. The wine rests from October to April in steel; in April it is decanted in barriques of first and second passage where it rests for 12 months. The wine is then transferred to 2000/3000 liter wooden barrels where it ages for a period ranging from 2 to 4 years depending on the vintage. Follows assembly, bottling and a further year of aging in the cellar before being placed on the market

Tasting the Refosco

Ruby red with garnet reflections. The aroma is complex with pleasant hints of plum jam and blood oranges that leave room for delicate notes of aromatic herbs and licorice. Elegant and full-bodied on the palate, very fresh and fruity with a very long persistence.

Food Pairings

It goes well with red meats and hard cheeses. Must try also with cold cuts
