Borgo San Daniele 'Arbis Ròs' Isonzo del Friuli 2018

Expressive aromatics of red fruit skin, dried flowers, wild berries, pepper, and hints of forrest and fir. The palate is strong with noticeable tannins that are both pleasant and intense. Imagine a place between the power Cabernet Sauvignon and the presence of Barolo. 

100% Pignolo, a rare grape that almost went extinct in the 20th century because farmers preferred planting higher-yielding grapes like Merlot. It is also a highly tannic grape that needs patience and skill to craft.

Aged in small French Tonneau for 2 years before being transferred to large Slavonian cask (2500L) total barrel aging is 3 years before bottling.

Farming Practice: Certified organic, practicing biodynamic, because of the biodynamic treatments and cover crops, sulfur and copper are rarely needed in the vineyards.
