Veralda Refosco 2019

Refosco is a dry red wine comprised of Refosco grapes, an esoteric Istrian variety with a notoriety stretching from the Republic of Venice to 1st Century Rome. Maceration, malolactic fermentation, and barrique aging produces an intense assemblage of characters and a deep maroon color that resonates with indigo shadows. Fragrances of cherry, blueberry, and blackberry brazenly announce themselves followed by dark chocolate and mild pepper notes. The medium body scantily confines the vivid fruity flavours amplified by biting tannins and the wine finishes with elegant notes of licorice and bitter cocoa.

Refosco pairs well with hard cheeses, pasta dishes in red sauces, and a plethora of Istrian meat specialities. Recommended serving temperature: 14° to 16°C.
