Why do we love it?
We knew that Refosco Adam Wines is a robust red Greek wine with huge aging potential, really capable of evolving beautifully over time. You can understand how excited we were when we got our hands on the exactly 100 bottles from the exceptional vintage of 2010, that the winery was aging in its cellar to display its evolution in time. The moment we tried it the reaction was mutual. Our hearts melted!
The powerful variety of Northern Italy has been fully acclimatized in the village of Adam near Thessaloniki and the results are truly amazing. Refosco Adam Wines has a fanatical audience and not unjustly. It has character and structure that cannot be compared to anything else. The long maceration time and the 18 months in new French oak barrels come and emphasize the rich black fruit, the dense structure and the floral character of the variety. The 2010 vintage was bottled and some bottles were left to age in the cellar of the winery. Ten years later, they decided that the time has arrived for everyone to see what this wine could do overtime. And the answer is: miracles!
The aftertaste of each sip is endless and the tannins have softened from the touch of time but in no case have they receded. The juicy, fresh fruit sets the tone and definitely promises another decade of aging in the bottle.
Refosco 2010 Adam Wines is a wine that asks for a company because beautiful things should be shared!
Tastes Like
Opaque ruby red color with purple hues and exuberant aromas of sour cherry, cherry, wild blackberry, fig, and plum, with a rich, spicy sense of cinnamon, paprika, red pepper, and vanilla. Hints of leather and bacon gradually make their presence felt, while if it is not already complicated enough, add to the above cigar smoke, iodine and ink to complete the uniquely multidimensional aromatic bouquet. Rich mouth with full-body, perfectly balanced acidity, and high but ripe tannins.
