It stands out for its elegance, with its recognisable intense ruby red, almost magenta, colour: this is Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso, a rich, typical, intense wine.
It also evokes the purple fruits of Mother Nature in its aroma and taste: wild blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries.
A sumptuous smoothness, capable of royally standing up to the most demanding meats, to the game that boldly populates the same territory as the vine does.
