FRUS 2015 Rosso - Rouge

"The Triple "A" movement is a group of winegrowers working against the tide of technological vinification that erases the identity of the terroir.

Founded at the end of the 1800s and handed down from woman to woman for more than 100 years, the Marina Danieli estate is now one of the most important in the Friuli region. The estate covers more than 100 hectares of vineyards, woods and vegetable gardens. The vineyards are located in the hilly area of Buttrio in Monte and benefit from perfect exposure. Some of the older plots have been selected for a new project that will get underway in 2015. This is the FRUS project - son and fruit in Friulian - which, under the impetus of Luca Gargano and Fabio Luglio, aims to maximise the natural expression of the grapes and the terroir.

This Rosso cuvée, a blend of local schioppettino and tazzelenghe grapes, is resolutely powerful, generous and structured. A gastronomic wine, it has a spicy mouthfeel and evolves on a fine, invigorating acidity. Intense garnet-red in colour, it develops intense aromas of black fruit, a fresh herbaceousness and a long finish.
