The 2006 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso shows off gorgeous layers of dark fruit with, flowers, sweet spices, all supported by finessed tannins. This is a beautifully balanced red from Volpe Pasini. I can't say there is a ton a varietal character here, but that bothers me less with Refosco, a finicky, rustic grape. Ideally the Refosco is best enjoyed while the fruit retains its juicy, plump personality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
