Red Wine from Friuli, Italy
Profile:
Deep, strong, ruby-red, almost impenetrable
Absolute complexity, with precise and intense hints of currant, wild blackberry and plum
Balsamic and spicy sensations of a rare complexity. The gently strong tannins close with a never-ending aftertaste
Food Pairing: Red meat - Serve at 16 to 18 °C in Riedel Vinum Chardonnay glass or similar
What’s In It: 40% Red Stock Refosco; 40% Faedis Refosco; 20% Pignolo
How It Was Made:
The ripe grapes are picked in trays and placed in drying rooms to
concentrate their aroma compounds and flavours.
Next, they are destemmed and macerated on the skins for about
three weeks in temperature-controlled automatic fermentation
tanks.
From the following spring, Forresco stays for 24 months in Allier
and Tronçais oak barriques before maturing in bottle for a further
24 months.
