Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Primosic 2021

The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso by Primosic is one of the typical expressions of a territory with a great winemaking tradition: Collio. In the heart of this hilly complex that extends to nearby Slovenia, for four generations, the Primosic family has been dedicated to creating wines capable of best expressing the qualities of both indigenous grapes (Ribolla Gialla, Refosco, and Malvasia Istriana) and “traditional” grapes (Merlot, Sauvignon, Chardonnay). The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso gets its name from the coloration of the pedicel, that is, the part of the bunch that supports the grapes, which just before harvest changes color and becomes reddish. 

In a plateau made up almost entirely of gravel and limestone, the grapes of Refosco by Primosic are harvested exclusively by hand and then brought to the winery for fermentation. In order to enhance the fine characteristics of the grape variety, a skin maceration for a maximum of 8 days is carried out. The production process is then completed with maturation in cement tanks for 12 months.

Thanks to the potential of the grape variety and the subsequent respectful work that takes place in the winery, the Refosco by Primosic shows itself in the glass with an intense garnet red with violet reflections. On the palate, it then explodes: an intense forest fruit, of sharp elegance, paves the way for a timid but pleasant vinosity that perfectly harmonizes with a soft tannin. Two additional characteristics catapult us to Oslavia: the slight minerality, of great balance, and the powerful persistence that invites you to take another sip. The Refosco by Primosic allows for a great variety of pairings. Starting from a pasta with meat sauce and concluding with a roast, even better if with game.
