Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Isola Augusta, 2022

The 2022 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from Isola Augusta is a vibrant and modern expression of Friuli's most famous indigenous red grape. While some Refoscos can be heavy and rustic, Isola Augusta—a winery known for its commitment to sustainability and "green" energy—crafts a version that emphasises fruit purity, freshness, and immediate drinkability. The 2022 vintage was characterised by a warm Mediterranean climate, resulting in a wine with excellent ripeness and a particularly smooth texture.
