Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Friuli Grave DOC 2022

Refosco 'dal peduncolo Rosso' owes its name to the characteristic colour of the grape stalks, i.e. the part that connects the grape to the bunch and the vine. In fact, in this grape variety, the so-called 'petioles' have precisely a reddish hue that can sometimes also be an intense red colour. The typical Refosco area is Friuli-Venezia Giulia (and partially Veneto), where it has been cultivated for centuries. This grape variety, particularly appreciated by lovers of young, fruity reds, produces wines with good character, generally characterised by an intense ruby red colour with violet hues, which intensify with age. A young, ready-to-drink red, this pure Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso proposed by i Magredi is the result of a red wine vinification process, with fermentation and maceration of the skins at a controlled temperature. After processing, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks, awaiting bottling. As soon as it is poured, in the glass it has a beautiful intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals an intense aroma, with hints of violet, wild blackberry and blueberry. A full-bodied wine, it is elegant and dry. Slightly tannic, it leaves the mouth clean and ready for another sip. It goes well with veal shank, but also with fillets of sea bass in red wine. Good with hard cheeses and generally with intensely flavoured foods.
