The 2015 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso di Cialla is intense with a burst of autumnal spices, blood orange and crushed raspberries. This is rich and pliant with a core of tart wild berry fruits and zesty acidity that adds a sensation of unbridled energy while remaining elegant. It finishes remarkably fresh and long, with a saturation of fine tannins and a bitter tinge, yet remains incredibly fresh. The 2015 has a bright future ahead of it.
