Refosco d.p.r. Riserva

the noble lord of the wine

Like a noble lord of the east, it is silky-smooth and intensely spiced on both the nose and the palate, conjuring up an allure of far-off lands, although inextricably bound to the soil the grapes spring from. Produced only in the years deemed to yield the finest quality, it is an austere, direct wine, dry and tannin-rich, able to reveal all its striking personality with the first encounter.
