Cantine da Villa Frattina Delle Venezie Refosco dal Pedunculo

Slightly youthful plummy red. A very interesting nose - chocolate-coated prunes and orange zest - quite Christmassy. Good soft, fruity attack, which fills and broadens out. Woody licorice root flavours on the finish. A bit simple perhaps, but rescued by excellent, unusual flavours. Very Good Indeed. (At Solo Restaurant, Goosnargh)
