Baccichetto Vittorino is a family estate in Friuli — the north-eastern corner of Italy that borders Slovenia and Austria, producing wines of real character and distinctiveness from indigenous varieties that are found almost nowhere else in the world. Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso — literally ‘Red Uncle of Refosco’ — has been cultivated in north-east Italy since ancient times, deriving its name from the red vine stems. The grape was praised by Pliny the Elder in Roman times and remains one of Friuli’s most characterful indigenous varieties. About This Wine A medium-bodied Refosco from Friuli — vibrant, food-friendly, and full of character. Chocolate-covered currants and plums on the nose give way to a round, fruity palate with excellent depth and vibrancy, finishing with a long, tangy raspberry and spice fade. A wine of real Italian soul and excellent everyday drinking.
