Refosco dal peduncolo rosso is a native red grape variety of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Investigations on its DNA indicate the origin from a cross between the marzemino and another variety unknown today, confirming its belonging to the vine family of the north-eastern Italian area. Its characteristic name derives from the red color of the peduncle, when the grapes are fully ripe. Today it is grown throughout the region and produces fruity reds, with vinous notes and a rather rustic profile, with exuberant tannins and acidity. Precisely for these characteristics, it is recommended to refine it in wood to bring it back to greater expressive harmony.
