REFOSCO DOC Friuli Colli Orientali 2009 – 1,5 l MAGNUM

Le Vigne di Zamo

Vinification: The destemmed and crushed fruit is transferred to maceration vats for alcoholic fermentation. During fermentation, cap punchdowns, rack and returns and pumpovers are alternated for 10-12 days. At devatting, the wine is
racked into stainless steel tanks and the pomace is pressed. Malolactic fermentation is completed in steel, to be followed by racking into large 25-hectolitre oak barrels and once-used barriques. Twelve months later, the wine is blended. It goes into bottle the following month.

Tasting notes: Intense rub red, with warm aromas redolent of briary fruit, morello cherries, violets and cloves. The soft,  fullbodied palate signs off with a lively fi nish that lingers in the mouth.

Pairings: A wine for cold meats, meat-filled tortelli pasta envelopes, poultry such as guinea fowl cooked in various ways, shin of veal and cheeses.

Die Rotweinsorte Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso ist eine Varietät der Sorte Refosco, stammt aus der norditalienischen Region Friaul und ist seit dem 18. Jahrhundert bekannt und dokumentiert. Sie trägt ihren Namen wegen der rotgefärbten Stiele. Refosco dal Peduncolo rosso wurde früher mit anderen Spielarten der Refosco-Reben verwechselt, so beispielsweise mit Refosco d’Istria, Rauscedo oder Refoscone. (aus: Wikipedia)
