The wine
Soft pink with copper highlights from the skin contact during fermentation. Fresh on the palate.
Ramato means coppery, and it is the traditional Friulian way with Pinot Grigio: the grape has pink-grey skins, and leaving the juice in contact with them draws exactly that colour. It was the normal style here long before the pale international version existed. Specogna farm organically in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, where the vineyards sit in a natural amphitheatre, worked by Michele and Cristian Specogna.
