Refosco – powerful red wine from the northeast of Italy
Refosco is one of the most characterful indigenous grape varieties in Italy and is still a real insider tip in German-speaking countries. At Vinoscout, you will find two wines of this variety from Friuli and the Veneto – starting at 8.98 euros.
Origin & Character
Refosco has been rooted in the northeast of Italy for centuries, especially in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the adjacent areas of the Veneto. The variety produces deep ruby-red wines that stand out due to a pronounced tannin structure and lively acidity. Aromatic-wise, Refosco moves between dark berries – blackberry, blueberry – and spicy notes of black pepper and violets. With some maturity, earthy and slightly bitter hints often develop, giving the wine depth and length. Those who appreciate Barbera or Sagrantino will find pleasure in Refosco.
Pairs well with
- Braised beef and game ragù
- Hearty pasta with meat sauce or mushrooms
- Grilled lamb chops with herbs
- Mature hard cheeses like Montasio or Pecorino stagionato
- Cold cuts and Salumi from the region
