An ancient grape variety from Friuli, Refosco is the quintessential native red of these lands. Present for centuries, its name was also used—sometimes improperly—to identify high-quality vines within the Friulian wine landscape. A reference variety for the production of Friulian red wines, over time the best types have been selected to offer winemakers the most distinctive expression of this grape.

Tasting notes
Our Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso presents itself with an intense ruby red color and violet reflections. On the nose, one can appreciate red fruits such as blueberry, cherry, and blackcurrant, with a light hint of vanilla—altogether very inviting. On the palate, it expresses all its nobility with structure and noticeable yet elegant, non-intrusive tannins. The fruity notes are well balanced and accompanied by a fresh acidity. Upon tasting, its savory character and strong personality are immediately evident: it is a wine capable of satisfying those who seek uncompromising wines, rich in original and non-commercial sensations—in short, a true expression of its territory.
Pairings
A wine that traditionally pairs wonderfully with game dishes such as pheasant, capercaillie, woodcock, hare, wild boar, deer, and roe deer. It also pairs very well with traditional Friulian dishes, particularly “musét,” a pork cotechino, whether boiled or baked.
