DOC Friuli Colli Orientali Refosco "Bottaz"
Among the indigenous Friulian black grape varieties, it is perhaps the best known, partly because at the first impact one has the feeling of a rustic wine with a strong personality, but with aging in the mouth the finish softens, taking on beautiful nuances that border on elegance. Intense, fruity aroma of morello cherry and ripe berries, especially wild blackberry, but also slightly herbaceous with hints of underbrush. Spicy notes of pepper, cloves cloves and cocoa. Tannin is well present but silky and pleasant to the touch. Full and enveloping, it has a lingering finish consistent with the bouquet, in particular in the fruity and spicy references.

How to read it

The power and clarity of the aromas: how much the wine speaks to the nose.

The salty, mineral note that makes the wine savoury and dynamic.
Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
TanninsPersimmon
The astringency that dries the mouth, from the skins' tannins — like an unripe persimmon.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
