Refosco

2008 Venezia Giulia Refosco

The Castelcosa Refosco, a delightful red wine from the picturesque Venezia Giulia region, showcases the characteristics of the Refosco varietal with great finesse. This 2008 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, boasting a bright acidity that invigorates the palate and enhances its vibrant character. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and plums, which harmoniously intertwine with subtle earthy undertones. Its tannins are notable yet refined, providing a sturdy backbone that supports the wine's structure without overwhelming it. The overall dryness adds to its elegance, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
