Production Process Harvested at the height of their ripeness, when they reach the correct balance of sugars and acidity, grapes enter the cellar early in the morning and are crushed. After a month of vinification on the skins in truncated cone-shaped wooden vats, we proceed with pressing and subsequent aging. The latter lasts approximately 12 months and takes place half in tonneaux and half in barriques. In this way we control the evolution of the wine and best enhance all the typical characteristics of this vine. Both wine batches are then blended and filtered; bottling and packing procedures follow. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is then aged in bottled from 6 months to one year.

Organoleptic Characteristics Intense red with purple hues, complex bouquet of red fruits and spices. On the palate it is round but fresh, the tannins are well balanced and the finishing offers persistent peppery notes.
