Refošk Rodica

This organic Refosco displays an intense ruby-red color with youthful violet hues. Its aroma captivates with herbal notes of dried grass, mineral hints of wet earth, and the freshness of ripe forest fruits, complemented by subtle spices and jam-like nuances of plum, raspberry, and sour cherry, with a touch of coffee and chocolate. On the palate, it is fresh, rounded, and lively, with velvety tannins and a pronounced minerality that hints at its aging potential. Its vibrant acidity integrates harmoniously with a fruity and slightly spicy flavor profile, leaving a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Perfectly paired with cured meats like pancetta, Istrian prosciutto, and dry sausages, young cheeses, red meat dishes, and tomato-based sauces. Its refreshing character also balances rich, fatty dishes like grilled meats and roasts, and it pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate and pumpkin seeds for a unique finish.
