Vigna Petrussa Refosco Red Wine
Like a cook in the kitchen, Hilde Petrussa gives a special touch to each wine. With her Refosco, after gathering the grapes, she lets the tannins mellow out by air drying the grapes for about 20 days before starting the fermenting process.
A deep purplish red hue, the bouquet recalls dry summer hay and red berries jam. On the palate it is round with soft tannins and underbrush hints.
Vigna Petrussa is a certified sustainable and biodiverse women-owned winery.
