Refoscolo del Peduncolo Riserva DOC Friuli Colli Orientali - Jeroboam - La Viarte 2014

The Refoscolo del Peduncolo Riserva DOC Friuli Colli Orientali produced by La Viarte winery represents an excellent example of how careful winemaking can enhance the intrinsic qualities of a native Friulian grape variety. This vintage is available in Jeroboam format, ensuring not only an impactful tasting experience but also a wonderful option for special occasions.

Cultivated in the picturesque hills of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, Refoscolo, also known for its red stalk that persists after harvest, is a grape variety that requires great care both in the vineyard and in the winery. La Viarte focuses especially on manual harvesting, selecting only the best clusters, before moving on to a vinification process that follows methods aimed at preserving all the aromatic nuances typical of the grape.

After a period of maceration at controlled temperature, the wine matures in barrique for several months, during which it acquires complexity and a balanced tannic structure. The result is a deep Ruby red wine, with garnet reflections that become more pronounced with aging.

On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of wild berries, spices, and a slight herbal note, which enhance its freshness and authenticity. On the palate, the Refoscolo del Peduncolo Riserva is full, harmonious, with a well-integrated tannic texture and a long, persistent finish.

This wine pairs wonderfully with traditional Friulian dishes, such as frico with potatoes, but is also ideal for accompanying grilled red meats or roasts. Serve at a temperature of 18-20°C to fully appreciate its qualities.

A prestigious addition to a collector's cellar, the Refoscolo del Peduncolo Riserva is a true tribute to Friulian winemaking tradition, housed in a bottle that celebrates the art of wine.
