Vignai da Duline Morus Nigra 2009

Travel to Friuli with Vignai da Duline, run by husband and wife team Lorenzo Mocchiutti and Federica Magrini whose vineyard management is characterised by their use of cover crops, hand harvesting and their herbicide-free approach. As the producers put it, "We believe our wines can convey our respect for the delicate balance of our environment, the care and personal attention we afford to every stage of the production process, and our pursuit of the highest quality wine and viticulture". `Morus Nigra` is an elegant Friuli red, made from local variety, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. The wine takes its name from the botanical name for the black mulberry tree, typical of the rural Northern Italian landscape.
