Wine description
From the refined vinification in blend of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes for 40%, Refosco di Faedis for 40%, and Pignolo grapes for 20%. The origin of the vines is that of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The harvest takes place in mid-October. The vinification foresees that the ripe grapes are harvested in trays and stored in cells called fruity to concentrate both the aromatic and the gustatory components. Then the destemming and a maceration on the skins for about 3 weeks in automated and controlled thermo winemakers. From the following spring the Forresco rests for 24 months in barriques of Allier and Tronçais, followed by the last aging in bottle for another 24 months.
Characteristics of this red wine
The organoleptic analysis of this wine shows an aspect of intense and powerful ruby red color, almost impenetrable. The bouquet reveals an absolute complexity with clean and intense flavors of black currant, wild blackberry and plum. The taste is characterized by the olfactory power is amplified wrapping the palate with a series of balsamic and spicy sensations of rare complexity. The delicately robust tannins close in an aftertaste that does not seem to want to end.
