Tomasella "Rigole" Rosso

Refined. Indigenous. Distinctively Friulian.

From the sunlit hills of Friuli Grave, Tomasella’s Rigole Rosso is an expressive yet approachable red, crafted from a harmonious blend of Merlot and Refosco. Sustainably farmed, the vineyards reflect the estate’s dedication to quality and the delicate balance between tradition and care for the land.

In the glass, it shows a medium ruby hue, opening to aromas of red cherries, raspberries, subtle spice, and hints of forest floor. On the palate, it’s supple and well-balanced, with juicy red fruit, gentle tannins, and a fresh, lingering finish. The combination of Merlot’s softness and Refosco’s rustic character creates a wine that is both structured and approachable, perfect for everyday enjoyment.

For Irish wine lovers, Rigole pairs beautifully with pasta, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, or light meat dishes. It’s a versatile red that brings a taste of Friuli’s charm and elegance directly to Ireland, making simple meals feel special.

Why we love it:
We love Rigole for its harmony and bright, approachable character. It balances freshness, soft tannins, and subtle complexity in a way that reflects both the Friuli terroir and Tomasella’s thoughtful winemaking — a delightful red for Ireland’s tables.
