TAZZELENGHE
D.O.C.
COLLI ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI
Tazzelenghe has an intense red colour with violet tinges.
The high tannin content and initial acidity have earned
it the name of “Tacelenghe”, or "tongue-cutter".
A hard, robust wine when young, Tazzelenghe mellows out
in the wood and after a few years develops a delicious broad,
velvet-smooth bouquet. An intriguing wine with a very distinctive
character.
