Other curiosities
The name probably derives from the term “Rap fosc”, meaning dark grape bunch. The oldest document attesting to the presence of Refosco is from 1452. In the 1800s dry Refosco was considered a fine quality wine and was also used for blending. Refosco is a great red quality grape. Its bouquet is grapey, intense, reminiscent of forest fruits, raspberries and wild blackberries. Typically tannic, full bodied and possessing a dry, persistent aftertaste.
