Valpanera Aquileia Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2022

Valpanera Aquileia Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2022 is a vivid expression of one of Friuli’s most characterful native grapes, offering freshness, depth and a distinctly local identity. Sourced from Aquileia, a historic winemaking area in northeastern Italy, it combines regional tradition with the grape’s naturally energetic, spicy profile.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Refosco typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful purple reflections. The nose is expressive and inviting, with dark berry fruit, sour cherry, violet, pepper and a subtle earthy note that gives the wine a rustic charm. On the palate, it is usually medium-bodied and lively, with firm but approachable tannins, bright acidity and flavours of blackberry, plum, cherry skin and spice. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is known for its freshness and structure, so while this vintage is enjoyable young, it may also develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Aquileia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, this wine comes from a region shaped by a mix of Adriatic influences and alluvial soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic lift in the grapes. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is a native variety well suited to the area’s climate, where warm days and cooler nights support balanced ripening. Vinification is typically focused on preserving the grape’s natural fruit, spice and vibrant acidity, with careful extraction to maintain structure without overpowering the wine’s elegant character.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled meats, roasted duck, game пти, mushroom risotto and aged cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, to keep the fruit fresh and the tannins polished. Decanting for 20–30 minutes can help open up the aromas, especially if enjoyed in its youth.
