This mature Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso comes from the single vineyard "Zuc di Volpe" – a prime example of the ripening potential and aristocratic depth of this autochthonous variety. 2013 was a classic vintage: a cool spring, a moderate summer and a dry autumn allowed a late harvest of perfectly ripe grapes with a distinctive tannic structure and lively freshness. The wine was matured in large wooden barrels and barriques and then allowed to rest in the bottle for many years. Today it displays a multi-layered bouquet of dark cherry, blackberry, graphite, undergrowth and liquorice. Powerful and focused on the palate, with ripe tannins, savoury spice and a characteristic balsamic freshness that characterises the long finish. A hint of dark chocolate and a touch of iron add depth.

"Zuc di Volpe" is not just a vineyard designation here, but a signature for substance and terroir expression. This Refosco is not a rustic country wine, but a finely balanced, mature personality with a backbone – and a quiet ambassador of Friulian red wine culture. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, powerful ruby red colour. Medium expressiveness on the nose, some raspberry and dried tomato. drinky and juicy on the palate, freshly stretched, always juicy as it progresses, notes of ripe red berries, pleasant pressure on the final." Falstaff

"Fruity with blackberry and a hint of oyster shell. Full-bodied, round and full of flavour." James Suckling

"Bright red in colour. Aromas and flavours of flint, undergrowth and blackberries are pure and clean. Then brightly savoury and fresh on the minty, long and clean finish." Vinous
