Native Friulan varietal with a long tradition. In his 1390 “Annals of Friuli”, Di Manzano writes “.. the Roman ambassadors offered twenty igastariis (vessels used as measurement during the time) of Refosco to the Dominican general...”.Mainly trained in the Cappuccina system, the vines of our Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso benefit from marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin. The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates, to preserve the integrity of the berry. Carefully destemmed, the fruit is then crushed. Fermentation is carried out with maceration on the skins at controlled temperatures in stainless steel containers. The wine matures and small barrels of French oak. The bottled wine is then aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.
