REFOSCO DAL PEDUNCOLO ROSSO Friuli Colli Orientali D.O.P. has a distinctly vinous, broad, rich and intense aroma anchored on fruity and spicy notes of underbrush, wild blackberry, raspberry, cocoa, tobacco. It has a dry, full taste, considerable structure, with slightly bitter aftertaste.
A subtle and delicate hint of vanilla blends pleasantly into the overall taste-olfactory sensations. It has a deep ruby red color with violet hues; it takes on shades tending toward garnet with aging.

Harvested at the best degree of sugar and phenolic ripeness, the de-stemmed grapes are crushed and the resulting must is left to macerate and ferment in steel tanks in contact with the skins. During this stage, pumping over is frequent to promote the passage of color and noble tannin from the skins to the fermenting must.

Given course to racking, we wait for the end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and carry out appropriate racking. The wine then descends by gravity into the underground barrique cellar to continue its slow maturation in 25-hl French oak barrels. Until February when it will be bottled

Three generations, one story.

In the 1960s, grandfather Min and then father Livio began a story that continues to this day in Massimo and Marco Zorzettig’s Tunella, custodians, along with mother Gabriella of more than peritivo or paired with mushroom or fish dishes; also ideal with shellfish, crustaceans and baked fish.Fifty years of family history. In today’s Tunella, current events and memory, the desire to experiment and the highest traditions of the Colli Orientali del Friuli coexist: a present that day after day builds its future.

Although Tunella has a well-established history, we have never abandoned the maniacal attention that distinguishes every small winemaker when working in his vineyard. It is no coincidence that our philosophy is “do little to do better”-this is the only way we can come up with something qualitatively excellent and at the same time absolutely unique and personal.
