In short, with wine par excellence. Don't miss this taste experience!
Refosco - characteristics of the vine
According to the most recent analyzes, we would find its roots in Friuli-Venezia, Italy. It was well known in ancient times, but it did not reach international fame until the 1980s. Wines from this variety have an intense ruby red color, which weakens with eventual maturation and approaches shade to garnet or even brick tones.
Who will like it
This grape variety tends to result in very sharp wines with a range of acids and tannins; but they can be suitably dampened by long and careful vinification. Refosco smells of wild blackberries, morello cherries, raspberries and black currants with slight herbal hints. For more mature pieces, we can also smell the interesting aroma of tobacco. After tasting, it has a slightly bitter finish. It is full, well-structured and, in addition to fruit, it can also play elegant almond tones. Mature variants are then incredibly elegant, even luxurious.
Combination with food
It goes best with the meat dishes of traditional Friulian cuisine; they are easy to prepare, but at the same time full of strong flavors. And it doesn't even have to be spicy! More refined versions can also be served with game, they will be great with rabbit meat or small feathered game.
