Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso

Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso

Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is named after the red color of its peduncle which is the base of the grape-stalk. This vine variety, also cultivated in other Italian wine regions, has always been grown by Vitacchio family: in fact our Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso vineyard is 50 years old.

Our volcanic soils give a ruby red wine with charming purple reflections. It has an intense and pleasant scent referring to wild blackberries, a stuffing and sapid flavor with a light bitter note finish.
