Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Roggio dei Roveri DOC Lison Pramaggiore

At The Vineyard
A single-varietal Refosco, native Friulano grape variety characterised by a fairly late ripening period. The grapes are selected from the older vines on the estate, perfectly adapted to the territory, they have found a balance of quality through the small scale production that they yield. Every year, numerous green harvesting operations are carried out in order to maximise the sunlight on the bunches so that they can reach the required ripening levels.
The grapes, harvested by hand and selected through qualitative sorting, are vinified with skin maceration that varies between 25 to 30 days to allow for optimum extraction of colour and tannins. The wine then matures in oak casks for 12 months and then in larger barrels for 6 months.
 
Tasting
Reserva wine, with a resolute red colour and violet hues; the scent is encompassed by its elegant musky fragrances and for its hints of berries, its flavour is warm and elegant for the perfect harmony. With a solid structure, austere, encompassing and harmonious.
 
Plus
An excellent wine among the reserves of Bosco del Merlo. From an indigenous vine with a heritage taking in the territory, the biodiversity and its history. The name of the grape variety refers to the characteristic colour of the base of the rachis (stem) in the ripening stage of the grape.
