Refosco is a red grape variety primarily grown in Italy, particularly in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions. Known for its deep color and robust flavor, Refosco grapes produce wines that are often rich, fruity, and slightly tannic. The wines typically exhibit notes of dark berries, cherries, and sometimes earthy or herbal undertones.
Refosco is not just one grape but refers to several related varieties, including Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and Refosco di Faedis. These wines are often enjoyed with hearty dishes, making them a popular choice for pairing with red meats and rich sauces.
