Refosco dal Peduncolo rosso

A grape variety of the great Refoschi family, our Refosco has always been widespread throughout Friuli, especially in the province of Udine. With the spread of noble grape varieties such as Cabernet and Merlot, this grape variety almost disappeared. The first traces of its cultivation can be found in the municipalities of Torreano and Faedis, but the origins of this grape variety are still uncertain.

The northernmost part of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area has been acknowledged as a sub-zone for wine made from Refosco Nostrano, namely, “Refosco di Faedis”.
