Friuli Venezia Giulia is often described as the "Land of the Great Whites" but it should not be forgotten that in this region the vocation for winemaking has made Friulian winemakers very skilled in dealing with red grape varieties.

Inspiration from French art in red winemaking tends to favor the use of wood and the Bordeaux blend which make Friulian red wines structured and elegant with aromas ofred fruits and aromatic herbs.

Among the native red wines of Friuli we remember great names such as Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso , Pignolo , Schioppettino and Cabernet Franc .
