Parovel Vinja Barde 2020 Friuli Venezia Giulia IGT Terrano

A red wine from Parovel, made from Terrano grapes grown in a six-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone soil facing south-west. The vines are about 15 and 40 years old, and the grapes are selected and picked by hand when overripe. It is a red of great drinkability and pleasantness, deep ruby with purple reflections. The nose shows forest fruits, roasted notes and leather. On the palate it opens with lively acidity and tannins, then settles into more balance and body, closing on mineral traces and good roundness. It suits red meat dishes, pork fillet with currants, and boards of cured meats and cheeses.
