The Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from Feudi di Romans is a Friulian wine, originating from the lands of Isonzo, the southern area of Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is made from the homonymous indigenous grape variety, cultivated for centuries in this area and a descendant of Marzemino, another great grape from our Triveneto. This wine has a typically varietal profile, highlighting the strong character, good tannic structure, and expressive fruit of a rich and generous grape. The choice of aging in large barrels helps to soften some youthful sharpness of the Refosco, making the wine more harmonious and balanced, but without altering its unmistakable personality.

The Feudi di Romans project was born in the 1950s, when few believed in the potential of this territory for quality viticulture.

The character of the grape is preserved even during careful vinifications and aging processes, which are almost always carried out in steel or large barrels.
