WINE DESCRIPTION
Bastianich Calabrone is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Bastianich winery in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Refosco, Schioppettino, and Pignolo, grown in the vineyards of the Colli Orientali del Friuli appellation. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with poor soils, which impart unique mineral and spice notes to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a long maceration and fermentation process, followed by aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is full-bodied, complex, and elegant, with flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and tobacco. Bastianich Calabrone is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality Italian red wine with a unique character and style.
