We got this wine at Vino &Destilaty 2009 show in Prague when we stopped by the section dedicated to friuli wines, we tasted mostly whites and some reds, especially refoscos. This bottle we got at the end of the show. I must say the scores is mainly given its strong tannins, the bouqet is quite nice with secondary tones from the barrel, in the taste the acohol is quite visible with strong tannins, but not rough ones like in young wines, rather matured ones. Nowhere on the bottle or on corporate web pages I found the varieties the wine is made from :(
