About this product
Refined. Indigenous. Distinctively Friulian.
A premium red blend from Cantina Tomasella, Rigole Rosso brings together the smooth richness of Merlot (85%) with the earthy, spicy character of Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso (15%), one of Friuli’s most distinctive native grapes. Vibrant, layered, and elegant, it’s a wine that speaks of place — and pairs beautifully with thoughtful food.

Why we love it:
It’s a wine with soul. Merlot brings softness and plush fruit, while Refosco adds Friulian depth and spice. A confident, characterful red that never overwhelms.
Country of origin

Italy

Trevenezie IGT

  • Merlot
  • Refosco

Colour
Deep ruby with violet edges.

Nose
Redcurrant, dark cherry, blackberry, and wild herbs.

Palate
Medium-bodied and lively with soft tannins, juicy red fruit, and a subtle earthy spice from the Refosco. Smooth, savoury, and persistent on the finish.

A versatile wine with enough depth to handle hearty fare, but elegant enough for lighter dishes too:

  • Herb-roast pork or duck
  • Mushroom risotto or gamey pasta
  • Grilled aubergines or Mediterranean vegetables
  • Semi-aged cheeses like Asiago or Fontina

Serve slightly below room temperature (16–17°C) to enhance freshness and spice.
