Refosco 2018

Miani's Refosco is produced in Friuli from Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes.

We are faced with one of the greatest Italian wines. The Miani winery is a piece of history of Friuli Venezia Giulia's wine culture, and Enzo Pontoni is the winemaker of this beautiful reality based in Buttrio, in the province of Udine. Enzo is a person deeply connected to his land, very reserved, almost shy like his wines that need time to express their full potential. Refosco, a difficult and complex grape variety, when vinified as a single varietal, often leads to very tannic and austere wines. In this case, 24 months of aging in barrel allows the wine to soften and balance, both on the nose with aromas of red fruit and spices, and in the mouth with tannins that gradually become sweeter and more integrated.
