In the far north-east of Italy, where the Julian Alps meet the Adriatic Sea, one man once wrote wine history. Livio Felluga, affectionately known as "il contadino" by Luigi Veronelli, is considered the patriarch of Friulian wine culture. His family was already producing Refosco and Malvasia in Istria – when he came to Friuli at the end of the 1930s, he brought this heritage with him. The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, named after its characteristic red stems, is rooted in the flysch soils of the Colli Orientali, the interplay of marl and limestone that has produced the best red wines here for thousands of years. Twelve months in barriques give the wine depth without masking its origin.

Garnet red with violet reflections. Black cherry and dark forest berries, including herbs, undergrowth and a hint of bitter almond. Taut and lively on the palate, with a distinctive acidity and grippy tannins. A wine of refined rustic elegance that carries the soul of Friuli. SUPERIORE.DE
