'Calabrone' Venezia Giulia IGT Bastianich 2016 Magnum

The Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT Calabrone wine is an interesting reserve proposed by the Friulian Bastianich winery, an interesting reality, created by the well-known entrepreneur and television personality Joe Bastianich, located in Cividale del Friuli and made up of 40 hectares of vineyards. This label comes from a blend of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso (70%), Merlot (10%), Pignolo (10%) and Schioppettino (10%) grapes, fruit of vines grown on the hills on a soil of Eocene origin, rich of marl and sandstone. Venezia Giulia Rosso IGT Calabrone is a red of considerable interest, which has obtained various national and international awards, including that of the "Vitae AIS" guide. To make this wine, after a careful harvest, some of the bunches collected are subjected to withering for a period ranging from 4 to 8 weeks. Following vinification, the wine is aged for 2 years in Allier barriques, after which it is blended. Finally, it is aged in glass for 3 years. The resulting wine is a label with great structure, a great complex red, very elegant, for a rich and enveloping wine, in a word, exciting!
