Refosco dal Peduncolo, Scubla (75cl)

Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is a red wine obtained from an indigenous grape variety native to northeastern Italy, particularly Friuli and, to a lesser extent, Veneto. Known for its firm tannins that mellow with age, this wine is a true expression of its terroir.

Aged in wood to soften its tannins, this Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso boasts an intense, clean nose with rich aromas of blackberry and blueberry, complemented by subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is full bodied and round, featuring a vibrant acidity, a pleasantly bitter edge, and a long, lingering finish. This bold red wine pairs beautifully with pork, rich meats, game, or even a classic carbonara, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
