A dry red wine made from the Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grape. The name ‘Gio’ is an abbreviation of the name Giovanni, Ornella’s father born in 1928. It was he who thought her how to make wine, and above all filled her with enthusiasm and set value on work which enabled her to make a success of winemaking she and her family today can be proud of. This is the best wine in the whole range of Ornella. Picked by hand, after harvesting the grapes are fermented for 15 days in contact with skins, then the process continues in small stainless steel tanks. After that fresh wine is matured for 18 months in small oak barrels and for another 6 months in the bottle. Strange, almost ink color of Refosco combines well with rich structure, reminding of forest fruits and root spices. Subtle tannins make the wine noble and highlight its velvety flavors. An excellent accompaniment with roasted and grilled meats or long seasoned cheeses. The words „passione per la vite..passione per la vita” under the name of the wine meaning in Italian “passion for vines, passion for life” fully reflect Ornella’s philosophy, the owner of a prosperous firm.
