red grape

Refosco

Cool, breezy vineyards of Friuli's hills and flats.

Known as: Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Refosco

Refosco, native to Friuli in northeastern Italy, is prized for deep colour, pepper and a distinctive bitter-almond bite.

It makes grapey, structured reds that pair extraordinarily with the region's cured meats and mountain-food tradition.

For the buyer, Refosco is frontier character — full, dark and rewardingly complex Italian red.
