2021 Tarlao Friuli Aquileia Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Mosaic Ros

Friuli's signature red grape, Refosco, showcases intense ruby red color in this old-vine selection from Tarlao. Grapes are harvested in late September, destemmed, and fermented in 5 hectoliter wooden barrels for 20-40 days depending on vintage. The result is a plummy, soulful wine with ample depth and lively freshness, displaying complexity with subtle oak influence adding light spice to the profile.
