This captivating red blend from Friuli Venezia Giulia offers a perfect symphony of three grape varieties. Its intense ruby hue introduces a wealth of flavors, with soft, round textures, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable depth. Merlot imparts a tender structure, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add spicy complexity, and Refosco lends vibrant acidity and color. Aged for 12 months in American oak barrels and further refined in the bottle, it’s mellow yet richly layered, with superb intensity and balance.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with hearty meats such as rare ribeye, venison, or chargrilled lamb with rosemary. Rustic dishes like cassoulet or roast goose, as well as creamy gratin dauphinoise, are equally delightful. For cheese lovers, Brie, Gorgonzola dolce, and cheesy polenta are excellent companions. With a production of 30,000 bottles, this blend is best enjoyed now or within 7-8 years at 18-20°C. Perfect for any occasion.
