Refosco di Faedis Friuli Colli Orientali

Produced from Refosco di Faedis, one of Friuli’s most historic indigenous red grape varieties, this wine expresses the distinctive terroir of the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC. The De Luca family cultivates three vineyard parcels totaling 3 hectares, situated at an altitude of approximately 160 meters on clay- and stone-rich soils. The vines, ranging from 50 to 80 years of age, are trained using the Guyot system and harvested entirely by hand with careful selection in the vineyard.

After destemming, fermentation takes place with indigenous wild yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 24°C for 30 days, allowing the grape’s natural character to develop fully. The wine is then aged for approximately 24 months in stainless steel, preserving its purity and vibrant fruit profile.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red color with violet hues. The bouquet reveals elegant notes of violet, rosehip, and wild berries, while the palate is full-bodied, warm, and well-structured, supported by firm yet balanced tannins and a long, satisfying finish. This is a classic expression of Refosco di Faedis, combining richness, freshness, and remarkable authenticity. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, slow-cooked beef, and mature cheeses.
