Picco Attila 2014
Venezie IGP
Loading...
Refosco is one of Italy’s little known gems, unique to its northeast corner. Like Cabernet, it can produce a sturdy wine but, blended with Merlot, it makes the perfect red. Deep colour, dark plum fruit and chocolatey notes, a thoroughly moreish red.

The Wine
If you enjoy discovering some of the thousand or so grape varieties most people have never heard of, try this! The vineyards of northeast Italy have long been renowned for whites but in the Colli Orientali del Friuli around a third of the wines are red, and they too are worthy of attention. Aside from Cabernet, and the Merlot used here, local varieties such as Refosco add an original and distinctive twist to produce a refreshing, food friendly style. Picco Attila, aged in large oak vats, caught the attention of our Buyer Davy Zyw during a trip to the region. Not just for its dark damson, fig and prune character but also for its value. The winemaker likes to serve it with rich game dishes or a creamy polenta con zucca – polenta with pumpkin.
"Powerful blend of Merlot and Refosco grapes create a deep and richly flavoured red. Stunning red"
