Zorzettig
In Spessa di Cividale, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, during the early post-war years, the Zorzettig family was one of the few brave ones to invest resources and efforts in the land, the hills of Spessa, characterised by a unique microclimate and terroir. Over the years, the company's expansion also involved the house that is now located inside the company headquarters, a magical place that has become an agritourism resort that breathes centuries of rural history. The property extends over about 120 hectares of vineyards, producing about 800,000 bottles a year, 50% of which are destined for export, and a growing penetration in various markets, from Asia to the United States, from Australia to northern Europe. The company is now firmly in the hands of Annalisa Zorzettig.
Description
The bouquet of Zorzettig Refosco is very broad, warm, ripe and spicy, with notes of violets, plums, and strawberries. The fruit is captivating and seductive, with earthy aromas echoing cinchona and other balsamic notes. On the palate Refosco is well-structured and fresh with flavours of dark peppery spices, plums, liquorice and eucalyptus.
Food Pairing
Meat dishes are the most immediate choice. But Zorzettig Refosco is also excellent with truffles, lamb kebabs, gnocchi with meat sauce, hamburgers, baked lasagne, truffle risotto, pasta “Amatriciana” and beef-bourguignon.
