The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso by Torre Rosazza, coming from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, best expresses the authentic character of one of the most prestigious native grape varieties of the region. Cultivated in a hilly area characterized by mineral-rich soils, this wine offers an intense bouquet where aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, emerge, softened by light spicy and undergrowth notes.

On the palate, it is structured and full-bodied, with soft tannins and balanced acidity that provides freshness and longevity. The wood aging, skillfully managed by Torre Rosazza, enriches the wine with complexity without overshadowing its natural elegance.

Perfect paired with robust meat dishes, aged cheeses, and traditional Friulian cuisine, this Refosco reveals a sensory experience that tells the wine heritage of a unique territory.
