Refosco is a native Friulan varietal and has been used for wine making since Roman times and is thought to be the famous “Pucinum,” a wine loved by Roman Emperor Julius Caesar. These organically grown grapes are partially dried before fermentation a technique handed down over many generations. This natural concentration of sugars and tannins enrich the aromas with flavours that only drying can provide. At the end of fermentation the wine is aged in first and second-pass wooden barrels for over a year. Intense vibrant ruby red in colour with bouquet of wild red berries, morello cherry and spice, this elegant red is smooth with balanced soft tannins.
