With this "Ramato", Marchesi Frescobaldi, in the Friuli estate of Attems, evokes the tradition of the Republic of Venice. At that time, in fact, "coppery" was the term used to describe a particular grape variety: pinot grigio.
This Friuli DOC comes from a special process, in which the must remains in contact with the skins for about 10 hours, giving the wine its characteristic color. Vinified exclusively in steel, the result is a Pinot Grigio with an enveloping profile, with a pleasant freshness that blends with delicate fruity notes, also present in the aftertaste.
A wine Rosè to be enjoyed to the last drop, also appreciated for its versatility at the table.
Tasting notes: Characteristic, with a delicate nuance onion skin color. The bouquet is as usual intense and varied; cherry and wild strawberry are pleasant hints amid citrusy scents of pink grapefruit and sweeter ones of yellow peach. Lively acidity draws a framework of minerality around the firm structure, the finish is savory, with a return of wild flowers and white pepper.
Pairings: Accompanies charcuterie of different kinds well, and is excellent with pasta dishes enriched with a vegetable or shellfish sauce.
