Bastianich's Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso derives from 100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes grown in the company's vineyards located on the hills of Manzano, Premariacco and Cividale del Friuli in the province of Udine. Here the soils, composed of limestone-based marls, are located at an altitude between 150 and 200 metres above sea level. The refinement of the wine takes place for 7 months, 50% in oak barrels and the remaining 50% in stainless steel. After the clarification and filtration phases, it rested further for 2 months in the bottle before being put on the market. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is a typical vine of Friuli Venezia Giulia which owes its name to the characteristic red colour of the base of the stalk.
