{"title":"The Refugio","description":"\u003ch1\u003e Buy or order Il Rifugio wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n \nPinot Grigio originates from France (where it's called Pinot Gris) and is most likely a mutation of Pinot Noir. Monks spread it from Burgundy to other countries. This grape naturally has a high sugar content and relatively little acid, and therefore thrives in the relatively cooler north of Italy. Although Pinot Grigio is considered a white grape variety, the grape skins still retain just enough color to make a light rosé, or, more elegantly (we are in Italy after all), a wine with a \"blush on the cheeks.\" The grapes for this Il Rifugio (Italian for The Refuge) are hand-picked, gently pressed, and the must remains in contact with the skins for 24 to 48 hours to achieve the characteristic pinkish, coppery color. Temperature-controlled fermentation and refrigerated aging in stainless steel tanks preserve the wonderfully fresh character. Drink young. Tasting notes: Light pink in color with a coppery sheen. A crisp, fresh bouquet with hints of berries, followed by a soft, fruity flavor with a beautifully balanced finish. For those seeking a refreshing vinous treat on a day when 'O Sole Mio' brings summery temperatures, this 'Blush' is a delightful refuge... Hence the name Il Refugio.\u003cbr\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-il-rifugio.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
