Description
What kind of wine is it
Aquileia Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso Valpanera is a still red wine with a Denomination of Controlled Origin produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Made from Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes, it displays an intense and vibrant colour with aromas of blackberry and raspberry. On the palate, it is persistent and herbaceous, with a slightly bitter note that softens as it matures. Its production involves fermentation in steel tanks and ageing in barriques and large French oak barrels.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from Friuli Aquileia, a prime area for Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. The vineyards of the Scodovacca and Villa Vicentina estates grow on clay soils, ideal for giving depth to the grapes. The limited yield ensures optimal concentration of the grapes, resulting in a consistent identity that enhances the vegetal texture and dark fruit typical of the Friulian region.
How is it produced
The harvest takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, followed by fermentation in steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine matures for twelve months in barriques and large French oak barrels, an essential step to integrate the solid structure with the aromatic profile. The process concludes with bottle ageing for at least six months. To fully enjoy it, it is recommended to decant for one hour, which is ideal for harmonising its impact on the palate.

Friuli is renowned for its esteemed white wines, attributed to several key factors: The region’s UNIQUE MICROCLIMATE, influenced by the Alps, provides warm days and cool nights, crucial for preserving grape acidity and freshness. This balance allows complex flavors to develop, resulting in vibrant, nuanced wines. The MINERAL RICH MARL AND SANDSTONE MICRO SOIL add distinct mineral notes. Friuli winemakers, with generations of expertise, blend traditional techniques with
modern innovations to elevate their wines. Friuli wines are celebrated for their AROMATIC PROFILES featuring citrus, stone fruits, and floral undertones, pairing beautifully with various dishes and loved by wine enthusiasts worldwide.
Between the sea and the Alpine snow‑capped mountains lies a narrow cultivable strip of land, shaped by alternating layers of clay, lime, and sandstone. This region offers a rare harmony between the sweetness of marine clay and the mineral
toughness of the Isonzo gravels. A natural equilibrium that enhances the character of our grape varieties and gives life to wines of exceptional quality. And it is precisely here that our winery is located. Read more
