Why we love it
Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is a red wine obtained from an indigenous grape variety native to northeastern Italy, particularly Friuli and, to a lesser extent, Veneto. Known for its firm tannins that mellow with age, this wine is a true expression of its terroir.
Aged in wood to soften its tannins, this Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso boasts an intense, clean nose with rich aromas of blackberry and blueberry, complemented by subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is full bodied and round, featuring a vibrant acidity, a pleasantly bitter edge, and a long, lingering finish. This bold red wine pairs beautifully with pork, rich meats, game, or even a classic carbonara, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

This could well be my new favourite red wine! It’s a very deep red in colour with an enticing aroma and is an incredibly dry wine, which suits my tastes perfectly. I’m not especially good at picking out flavours, but I found it quite tart with a subtle taste of raspberry and I definitely detected a lovely hint of dark chocolate.
This may be a matter of taste, but I find that the wine benefits from being allowed to breathe for fifteen minutes or so before drinking.
