A pure expression of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, the 2014 Kreda undergoes a brief appassimento before going into French barrique for two years. The word "Kreda" is local dialect for clay and as you can imagine, that is precisely the soil composition of this single vineyard. This is a dark and robust effort with lots of muscle, brawn and aromatic power. The bouquet opens to black notes of tar, bitter chocolate, espresso bean and cherry confit. This is a big and important wine that has put on ample weight despite the cooler vintage. The wine is extra robust and powerful.
