Tasting Notes
Vintage 2020 | Alcool 13.0% vol
Appearance
Ruby red with good intensity and vibrant reflections; very clear.
Nose
Fragrant notes with scents ranging from marasca cherry to small red and black wild bush berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries), resulting in a pleasant and intense aroma.
Palate
Tasting reveals a good balance between the various varietal components of Refosco: the typical fresh note (wine peculiarity) and the tannic component, which is not excessive, are correct. Aftertaste of red fruits; good persistence.
Serving suggestions
Red meats pair well with this typical Refosco. When cooking, choose between meats that are not overly grilled and stewed meats with a moderate amount of their cooking juices.
Serving Temperature
To serve at 15°C.
