Friuli Colli Orientali Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2019 - La Roncaia

A red wine from Friuli Colli Orientali DOC, made by La Roncaia from Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. The grapes are picked late, with part of them dried for about eight weeks. Maceration takes place in stainless steel, fermentation lasts about 25-30 days at controlled temperature, and maturation lasts 36 months in wood. In the glass it is ruby red with garnet hints. The nose is complex, opening with forest fruit, then broad spicy notes, ash and more ethereal nuances. The palate is austere, rich-bodied and warm, with a persistent finish. It suits game and red meat grills, and is worth trying with brovada e musetto.
