🌟 A bold and characterful Friulian red—rustic elegance with a wild streak.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet hints—dark and intense.

👃 On the Nose:
Savory and complex. Aromas of blackberry, sour cherry, and forest floor mingle with notes of black pepper, leather, and dried herbs. Earthy and distinctly regional.

👅 On the Palate:
Structured and full-flavoured. Tart red berries and dark plum meet firm tannins and vibrant acidity, with a touch of spice and minerality that lingers on the finish. Rustic charm meets refined craftsmanship.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with game meats, venison stew, grilled pork, or aged Montasio cheese. Also pairs beautifully with mushroom-based dishes and lentil casseroles.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Can be enjoyed now with decanting, but will reward 5–8 years of cellaring as the tannins soften and the earthiness deepens.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Specogna’s Refosco is a deep dive into Friulian terroir—bold, honest, and unapologetically expressive. A wine that speaks of place and tradition with every sip.
