The soil is loam and planting density is up to 3,500 plants per hectare. The vineyards were planted in 1968 and vines are Guyot trained.

  2019 Refosco dal Peduncolo, Castello di Buttrio

  £2600

  Alessandra Felluga produces stunning, modern and authentic wines from old vines on her beautiful estate.  This juicy and spicy wine is made from Refosco vines that are the ‘dal Pundo Rosso’ variety, which takes its name from its distinctive purple-red peduncle (the stem that attaches the cluster to the vine)

  In the glass this is a richly fruited wine with succulent layers of spice and earthiness. Vibrant and characterful, with minerality and well-honed tannins that bring freshness.

  The estate vineyard is situated on the hillside slopes at 142 metres above sea level, which ensures excellent air circulation to keep the vines healthy. The Guyot trained  The vines range from 10 to 20 years in age. The soils are made up of layers of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, known locally as ‘ponca’ in Friulian, which contains marine fossils originating from the Adriatic Sea. This soil produces textured and concentrated wines which are balanced by cutting acidity, thanks to the soil’s high pH and cool temperature.
