Berry is of medium size, the skin is thick and tough black-blue. It’s harvested rather late, resistant, wine has a deep red color, intense perfumes; taste fruity, slightly tannic, with almond aftertaste, good body. These features make the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso suitable to quality wine making, such as Riserva, both alone or blended. According to Refosco’s fans, Carline Rosso is the Chianti of Venice, only the main wine changes: Refosco instead of Sangiovese.
