Refolesco comes from two Italian words: \u003ci\u003eRefolo\u003c\/i\u003e, a sudden gust of wind that brings something new, and \u003ci\u003eEsco\u003c\/i\u003e, to set out and take a new road. At a turning point in our lives, Martina and I chose to leave the beaten path and take on a new challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilosophy and ingredients\u003c\/b\u003e The soul of Piedmont and the Alps.

A drink of great, layered aromatic complexity, set apart by its own way of working:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeparate extraction\u003c\/b\u003e the aromatic, resinous and bitter components are infused separately, for a precise balance and full control over every flavour and scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatural fermentation and refermentation, with no added sugars\u003c\/b\u003e wild yeasts transform the natural sweetness of the apple juice. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, which is then pasteurised for stability and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCold crash and fine filtration\u003c\/b\u003e — for an elegant golden colour, while keeping a light, natural haze in suspension: the mark of artisanal authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlavour profile and pairing\u003c\/b\u003e The resinous, balsamic structure of the Alpine botanicals (pine, gentian, juniper, genepy), the lively freshness of kombucha and the citrus note of pepper and lemon verbena come together in a refreshing, complex drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA gastronomic drink without alcohol\u003c\/b\u003e — for every fine-dining moment and every convivial table where you'd rather leave the alcohol aside, without giving up anything on taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe perfect pairing\u003c\/b\u003e — at its best alongside aged cheeses, blue cheeses, washed-rind cheeses and rich dishes from the modern kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eServing suggestion\u003c\/b\u003e — serve cold at 6–8 °C, ideally in a large wine glass.
