2019 Refosco Cossut

The 2019 Refosco Cossut is dark and rich in the glass, with brown spices and sage complementing crushed raspberries and cocoa. This is silky-smooth yet cool-toned, with vibrant red fruits and peppery inner florals motivated by stimulating acidity. Grippy tannins are left to linger, yet the style is remarkably fresh, leaving hints of licorice and hard red candies to taper off. Both pretty and potent but also geared for a steady evolution, the 2019 is the total package.
