Tenuta Pinni - Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2007

Steven Defour      Izegem  (Belgique)

* This wine is produced from a vineyard of 5500 plants
per hectare of Refosco dal peduncolo Rosso, and is
followed carefully given the fragility of the vines
themselves, and those grapes suitable for the
production of such a high potential wine are
selected carefully. It undergoes maceration
for 12 days at a controlled temperature of
around 28°C in stainless steel tanks – during
which peak extraction from the skins is
achieved, following the first racking, the
wine is kept in stainless steel tanks where
malolactic fermentation takes place.
After a couple of weeks the wine is passed into
25 HL French Oak barrels, where it is refined for
12 months, creating a more elegant wine.
A very typical wine results from this process,
with an intense ruby red colour.
This wine is best drunk at
a temperature of 18° /20° .
