Product name Vespa Rosso 2018
Color Deep, bright ruby red.
Perfume The sweetness of blackberry and morello cherry cover the vegetal notes typical of Cabernet, consistently demonstrating a remarkable ripeness and structure.
Taste The tannins appear incredibly sweet and well-balanced in the mouth, perfectly harmonious with the acidic and alcoholic parts. The ensemble that emerges fully reflects the olfactory notes and is softened by a drinkability and pleasantness that, considering its high dry extract, make it clear that the winery has focused decisively on balance and respect for the parameters of pleasantness. Its finish is excellent, intense, long and persistent.
Pairings A wine particularly suitable for grilled meat and medium-aged cheeses, it also goes equally well with fish soups and spicy, structured preparations.

The deep connection the Bastianich family has with the wine world takes us back decades and generations. In fact, it dates back to the encounters with the most important winemaking families in the 1970s and 1980s and the promotion of the best Friulian wines on the menus of the Family's various restaurants in the United States. It was this passion for wine, combined with the desire to rediscover and rediscover their origins, that led the Bastianich family, in 1997, to plant the first vineyards in Cividale del Friuli, in one of Italy's most vocated areas for the production of white wines.

Wine making Grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks between 25 and 27°C. During fermentation, careful daily pumping-over is carried out (15 to 18 days). At the end of maceration and alcoholic fermentation, the grapes are pressed with a vertical press to extract only the sweetest tannins.
