Characterful red wine from Friuli with powerful fruit, delicate spice, and harmonious elegance.

Bastianich's Vespa Rosso 2018 is the winery's classic red wine, combining international and indigenous grape varieties to create a balanced cuvée. The combination of structure, freshness, and aromatic depth makes it an excellent ambassador of Friulian red wine culture.

On the nose, intense aromas of ripe plums, blackberry jam, and black cherries unfold, accompanied by notes of herbs, spices, tobacco, and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, the wine presents itself full-bodied and juicy with velvety tannins, lively acidity, and a long, spicy finish. The successful balance between power and finesse gives it remarkable drinkability.

Pairs excellently with:

- Beef steaks
- Roasts and braised dishes
- Game dishes
- Pork
- Aged cheese
