Dario Coos Refosco 2018
Refosco by Dario Coos winery in Friuli is a ruby red wine with deep purple tinges, fruity notes of wild blackberry and cherry mingle with floral, sometimes grassy notes with dried fruit in the background.
Refosco is medium-bodied and firm with an attractively bitter finish on a palate. Ages very well can be served slightly chilled. This versatile Italian red wine goes well with many different dishes including red fish and lean meat.
How is the wine made?
The wine is an assembly of three parts, a small part that is matured in wood, a part (the largest) in steel and the remaining part is the result of over-ripening of the grapes.
About the winery
The Coos family has been making wine on the hilly slopes at Ramandolo since the early 19th century. In other words, five generations of Coos devoted their time to the fruits of this land. Today the winery is run by a group of friends with a passion for wine and knowledge of what needs to be done to achieve excellent results.
The winery’s philosophy is to demonstrate what is meant by tradition and traditional techniques in the quest for the original, authentic Ramandolo, combining new production methods and traditional approach.
The winery has a wonderful selection of traditional wines typical for Friuli: the white Verduzzo, Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon and Malvasia; and red Schiopettino, Refosco and Pignolo. And of course Ramandolo in two interpretations – as late harvest and as delicious sweet wine Picolit.
