The brilliant Ivan Rapuzzi's red wines are sometimes overlooked in the rush of attention his distinctive white wines rightly receive. However, Rapuzzi's polyculture, woodlands/vineyard-balance estate excels at indigenous reds such as this savory and satisfying Refosco. Pair it on the coldest of winter nights with sausages, hearty risottos or Friulian specialties like a hot bowl of farro simmered in brodo or a pot of white beans simmered with smoked ham hocks.
