The estate’s 2006 Refosco is a big red that builds with layers of dark fruit, grilled herbs and tobacco. The rustic personality of this indigenous grape has been mostly tamed in this full-bodied red. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
I was quite taken with the higher-end wines I tasted from Scarbolo this year. It would be nice to see a little more attention paid to the entry-level bottlings.
