This wine has a deep ruby red colour with violet highlights. The Refosco is characterised by intense notes of red berry fruit, cherries and spice box perfumes. With typically pleasant acidity and good tannins, the wine has a lovely structure and body.
The family now has 16 hectares of vineyard on the hill of Rocca Bernarda in the heart of the Colli Orientali DOC zone. The vineyards are beautifully tended by Graziano Specogna, and the quality of the fruit he brings to the winery is impeccable. As a result, he is keen to get as much flavour as possible from the grapes. Grapes for the Refosco are grown at 170 metres above sea level on the Eastern Friuli hills. 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.

Purchase & earn 22 points!The Specogna family owns 22 hectares of vineyard on the hill of Rocca Bernarda in the heart of the Colli Orientali DOC zone. Their vineyards are set in a spectacular amphitheatre and are tended by Michele and Cristian Specogna, so the quality of the fruit they bring to the winery is impeccable. As a result, they are keen to get as much flavour as possible from the grapes.
The Refosco grapes were harvested by hand into 10 kilograms boxes. At the winery, they were destemmed and gently crushed at a maintained temperature of 25°C. Fermentation on the skins lasted 20 days until the wine was racked and aged in 500 litre wooden barrels. Blending and bottling took place after 14 months.
