Specogna Refosco Colli Orientali DOC, from Italy's Colli Orientali region, is a captivating dry red still wine crafted entirely from the Refosco grape. This deep ruby red wine, with its alluring violet highlights, undergoes a 15-day skin maceration and 12 months of ageing in 500-litre wooden barrels. It develops intense notes of red berry fruit, cherries, and complex spice box perfumes, revealing a lovely structure and body on the palate, balanced by pleasant acidity and good tannins. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs wonderfully with rich meat dishes and hearty pasta, offering a true taste of Friuli's winemaking heritage.

Vinification
The Refosco grapes were harvested by hand. At the winery, they were destemmed and gently crushed at a maintained temperature of 25°C. Maceration on the skins lasted 15 days until the wine was racked and aged in 500 litre wooden barrels. Blending and bottling took place after 12 months.
