Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso – Doc Carso – Castelvecchio

Vinification: The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso wine from the Karst region of Friuli Venezia Giulia emerges from arid, rocky soils enriched with iron and limestone. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a meticulous vinification process involving four months in stainless steel for fermentation, followed by up to two years in a mix of French and Slovenian oak barrels. This careful aging enhances the wine’s complexity and minerality, reflecting the unique terroir, while an organic variant underscores commitment to sustainable practices.

Tasting Note: It presents an intense ruby red hue, exuding elegant aromas of wild berries entwined with subtle spices from oak aging. On the palate, it reveals a dry and full-bodied profile, marked by a lingering, slightly bitter finish. With time, it further evolves, developing floral notes and smoother tannins that enhance its complexity.
