Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso n. bott.0808, Ronchi di Cialla, 2012

This wine is a "Cru" from the Cialla valley in Prepotto, a micro-region so unique it has its own sub-appellation. The 2012 vintage was an excellent year for late-ripening reds in Friuli, allowing the Refosco to develop its characteristic depth while smoothing out its rustic edges. At over a decade old, this bottle has moved past its youthful exuberance and into a phase of complex, savory sophistication.
