Refosco nostrano IGT - Cantina Vizzutti

The Refosco Nostrano from Cantina Vizzutti is a wine that tells the story and tradition of this land. Artisanally produced, this red wine is the result of a careful selection of native grapes, grown on marly soils of Eocene origin.

Refosco Nostrano has a garnet red color with ruby reflections. Its scent is intense and complex, with earthy hints, wild tones and berries, which evolve into spicy and toasted fragrances. On the palate, the wine is warm, velvety and tannic, with great intensity and flavor persistence.

The Vizzutti winery, located in the gentle hilly countryside of Nimis, is synonymous with quality and passion for winemaking. The grapes are harvested late and part of the production is subjected to a skilful sieving for around eight weeks. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, with maceration of the destemmed grapes for 25-30 days at a controlled temperature.

Refosco Nostrano is the ideal companion for grilled meats and game. Also perfect with risottos with sausage and mature cheeses, it enhances the typical dishes of Friulian cuisine . We recommend serving it at a temperature of 18-20°C to best appreciate its qualities.
