Stocco MORIS Refosco delle Venezie IGT (2021) - Friuli Venezia Giulia
THE GRAPE
100% Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso—the ancient Friulian red named for its signature red stem—from Bicinicco clay-limestone hills, where bora winds whip the Colli Orientali into feral intensity.
THE WINE
Violet-ruby dark horse that stains the glass like spilled ink. Nose roars wild blackberry, mulberry, wet forest floor, balsamic bramble and iron-laced earth. Dry, full and fiercely amarognolo on the palate—soft yet savage tannins, briny persistence and 14% warmth that demands roast meat. Friuli's answer to rustic soul.
FOOD PAIRING
Arrosti di manzo, salsicce affumicate, polenta con funghi, brasato, or Friulian cjarsons—meals that fight back.
THE WINEMAKER
Azienda Stocco in Bicinicco crafts Moris as pure Refosco poetry: stainless steel to trap the wild, no oak to tame the beast—just Friuli's ancient red pulse, bottled alive from family-owned Colli Orientali vineyards.
