Vinification of Riul Refosco dal peduncolo rosso Friuli Colli Orientali DOC from Livon
This pure Cru red wine from Friuli takes its name from the Livon family vineyard of the same name in the municipality of Corno di Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali wine-growing area. The vines of this very old autochthonous grape variety with its characteristic red stems grow on clayey marly soils. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in small boxes. In the cellar they are gently destemmed and then fermented on the skins at a controlled temperature of 24°C for twenty days. The fermentation is followed by thirteen months of ageing in wooden barrels at a constant temperature of 18°C, followed by bottling and another long maturation period in the bottle. The Cru Riul can be stored for up to 15 years.
