Bastianich, Calabrone I.G.T. Calabrone is an estate reserve released only when an excellent vintage is followed by a dry and mild September and October, when a percentage of the Refosco and all of the schippettino undergo appassimento (drying). As in the case of Amarone, the drying process not only intensifies the flavours of these distinctive grapes, but softens some of their natural tannic bite.
Wine type: red wine IGT - Calabrone.
Alcohol content: 13°
Region: Buttrio/Premariaccio, Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC.
Grape/blend: 70% Refosco, 10% Schioppettino, 10% Pignolo, 10% Merlot.
Type soil: limestone marl.
Colour: intense ruby red.
Aroma: the nose is filled with chocolate, coffee, spices and mature red fruit.
Tasting notes: the palate has considerable power and grip while maintaining elegance. Calabrone will surely benefit from additional cellar time, at least 5 years.
Serving suggestions: with dry extract levels near or greater to those of most Amarone, this is a big red wine for robust dishes. Serving 18°C.
