FRIULI DOC AQUILEIA
It expresses velvety sensations of black fruit sweetened by notes of cherry and plum, tanned tobacco and ancient woods. A totally Friulian, autochthonous Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso that expresses itself here with a harmonious elegance poised between the suavity of the bouquet, minerality and its full-bodied presence on the palate, leading to a sustained finish.
