  • Parent-offspring relationships can be traced between Refosco Nostrano and Tazzelenghe, and the scarce Refosco Gentile, which now exists only in isolated vines within ancient vineyards.

  • Refosco Ronchis is believed to be a biotype of Refosco Nostrano.

  • A notable distinction of Refosco Nostrano is its lower reductive nature compared to Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso, making it a more manageable grape in the winery.

Refosco Nostrano wines offer a fruitier profile compared to those made from Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso. However, their aromas and flavors are often less enduring and intricate, characterized by a distinct floral essence of lavender, iris, and rose, coupled with delicate hints of spice like cardamom, cinnamon, and marjoram. A subtle note of red licorice commonly lingers, while some variations may showcase a faint mineral undertone, though this is not a prevalent feature.

These wines typically exhibit higher acidity and lower tannins than their counterparts made with Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso. They boast a more refined texture, offering a silkier mouthfeel and a heightened sense of elegance. While they may lack the full-bodied structure of Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso wines, they compensate with a smoother, less assertive presence on the palate.
