Dario Coos Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2014 tasting notes: the best red apéritif wine?
Today’s wine review is a bit strange, we have defined the 2014 Dario Coos Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, the best red best apéritif wine, the perfect wine.
Wow, said in this way, it seems a frivolous statement, what does aperitif wine mean? We don’t even want to sound too worldly or cool but give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.
The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso of Dario Coos is a stratospheric wine. The reason is simple: it has a light body, 12 degrees of alcohol, infinite elegance, typicality, drinkability at the highest levels with hints of sapidity, dosed freshness, but above all the tannins smooth like silk.
Not to be blaspheme or to make comparisons, but if you like Pinot Noir this Refosco will bewitch you: it has the same framework, same elegance, but less tannic power.
It is a fine wine, played on a cutting fruit, with hints of smoky, forest, eucalyptus and dried red flowers. Do not expect an evanescent wine, on the contrary, the tannins remind us that Refosco is a wine with character, but it is declined with such finesse that we fell in love.
Think about this, how flexible this wine is. Are you organizing a barbecue? Hamburger for dinner? Or do you prefer sweet and sour pork or pad thai? Or do you just want to order a glass of wine for an evening aperitif before dinner?
Well, the Dario Coos Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is the wine that makes for all these occasions. Only another wine had impressed us so much for drinkability, pleasantness, and typicality and it was Arianna Occhipinti’s Frappato. From today we have another bottle to put in your heart, indeed to keep in the cellar always ready for the occasion.

The bouquet of the 2014 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso by Dario Coos
Sharp nose with precise fruit that starts from cherries and turns to blueberries, there is no shortage of cocoa, pepper, endless flowers, licorice, and a great eucalyptus finish. Everything is marked with crazy aromatic precision, depth, and pure elegance. Fabulous thickness, finesse, and persistence.
What does Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2014 by Dario Coos taste like?
Warm, soft sip supported by delicate tannins. The spices are there, but they are only hints, mixed with coffee and cocoa and add small nuances that soften the rhythm. Slender body, nice acidity, it is not a powerful wine, but it is very lively and moves with the right cadence. The balance is already excellent, the finish is woody, splendid.
A magnificent wine.
