Product Description
This 2021 Refosco red wine hails from Friuli, Italy. Isola Augusta, bought by Renzo Bassani in 1959, is now a third - generation family - owned estate. The area has a rich history, with the nearby city dating back to Roman times. The winery grows and bottles grapes on - site, and uses many eco - friendly and sustainable farming methods, like renewable energy sources. The soil, a mix of clay, silt, and sand, along with its coastal location, allows them to craft dry, top - notch wines. Made from 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, a grape related to Valpolicella, it offers tasting notes of dried tobacco, leather, and purple fruits such as blackberries. It pairs perfectly with a filling meat dish or pasta in red sauce.
To enjoy this Isola Augusta Refosco red wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening. This helps to enhance its flavors. Pour it into a standard red wine glass and take your time to savor the aroma and taste. When it comes to food pairing, it goes really well with hearty meat dishes like steak or lamb, and pasta with a rich red sauce. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, if there's any left, cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for about 2 - 3 days.
