For the vinification of this wine, 30/40% of the grapes are left to dry in wooden boxes for over a month. The remaining grapes are left on the vine and are then harvested when overripe, when the berries begin to brown and dehydrate naturally. The grapes are destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for 24-28 hours at a temperature of 12°C to allow the wine to accentuate its varietal characteristics and to acquire the golden yellow-amber color typical of this vine . Aging takes place for 60% for 6 months in steel tanks, 40% for 6 months in 300-litre oak barrels and ends with 2-4 months in the bottle.

Refinement before the bottle: Matured in precious wood for 14 months and finishes the maturation with a further 4 months in steel barrels
Bottle refinement: 7 months

After the destemming and crushing, the crushed grapes are cooled immediately at a temperature of 12°C and left in contact with the skins for 12 – 16 hours. In this period of time the natural enzymes of the must allow a release of the aromatic components, linked to the skin, accentuating the structure and the typical varietal characteristics of the vine. After this period, the must is delicately separated from the skins and fermented intact, without clarification, at a controlled temperature for about 14 days.

The ruby red color with purplish reflections that fade with ageing. Intense bouquet, which evokes wild blackberries, wild berries with winy and vegetable notes. Strong flavour, the tannins are integrated and the finish is pleasantly bitter. Refosco dal peduncolo rosso is an ancient Friulian vine, perhaps the best Friulian variety of red berried grapes.

A small part (25%) is vinified in white; a part about 40% is placed in cold maceration for 36 hours, for a greater extraction of the pink part. For both, a soft pressing and a start with indigenous fermentation then helped halfway through the addition of a small amount of selected yeast to complete the fermentation. The remaining part of the grapes is pressed, cooled to 7 degrees and left to macerate until the indigenous fermentation begins (usually 5 to 6 days). The macerated product is placed in a press and squeezed at minimum pressure, the must thus obtained continues its fermentation in traditional 2nd and 3rd passage barrels, in non-toasted oak with a capacity of 5/7 HL. One month before bottling, the three different vinifications are combined to form a single wine.
