Starts out pleasant, but after 20 min in the glass, it’s really singing. I’m not usually moved by sparkling rosé but this is a real standout. Cranberry, dark cherry cordial, pomegranate, apricot kernel, almond liqueur, gingerbread spice, and rose geranium carry over from the nose to the palate. Dry, structured, and slightly tart, with a fine, lightly prickly mousse. The color is a deep cranberry red, almost more like a mid-weight Lambrusco thank a classic rosé, and the flavors are accordingly intense—which makes this an unexpectedly versatile wine for food pairing. I had it with moderately spicy Kashmiri-style fried chicken and it was a perfect match. — 5 years ago

Superb nose of red berries, leather, quince and some herbal notes. The palate is very well made with a great acid drive, some red berries notes all along, some width but it's rather light and smooth on the mouthfeel. There are some tannins in the rear, a bit dusty and drying and a long fruity and fresh finish that lingers for quite some time. I had never heard about refrosco before and I read that it's pretty confidential. I will make sure to dig into it some more! — 3 years ago

What a weirdly animal, mushroom, forest( swamp) nose! Lots of extended skin contact , 10 days I believe. Natural fermentation and extended ( 5 years)aging in large barrels.No temperature control.Teran 40%, Merlot 40% Cab 20%. Iron, Plums, berries, bark, rocks, nails…
This is some wild and wooly stuff right across the Italian border in Slovenia.
Switching to a “proper”big glass from a decent Riedel stem tames down the funk and it finishes lighter than one may expect. Still bright at 13 years. Only 11.5°.
Very weirdly interesting.
