Wine Description:
De Stefani Kreda is a hugely concentrated and powerful wine made from the lesser known Refosco dal peduncolo rosso variety grown in the Veneto region in the Northeast of Italy. The vineyard that yields these grapes was planted in 1986. Yields are kept low in order to improve flavor concentration. Once the grapes are harvested and crushed, fermentation and maceration take place in cement tanks. The wine is spends around 12 months in new French 225 liter oak barrique and an additional 12 month bottle before its release.
Pros:
  • Massively concentrated flavors that saturate the palate

Cons:

Wine Expert Note:

De Stefani Kreda presents a bouquet of ripe and dried black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, as well prunes and figs accompanied by subtle dried herbs. These aromas are complemented by hints of sweet spice derived from oak, adding depth and intrigue to the overall profile. The palate is rich and velvety, with powerful but well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors of black and desiccated fruits continue to shine through, accompanied by a touch of earthiness and a lingering finish.
