Refosco is a very old family of dark-skinned grape varieties native to the Venetian zone and neighbouring areas of Friuli, Gavi, Trentino, Istria, and Karst Plateau.〔(Matkurja - Refošk ), accessed 06/29/2011〕 It is considered autochthonous in these regions. The name comes from the combination of the words ''rasp'' and ''fosco'' that in the venetian or Friuli languages mean respectively grape and dark. The wines this grape yields can be quite powerful and tannic, with a deep violet color and a slight bitterness. On the palate, there are strong currant, wild berry and plum flavors. The wine can stand some aging (depending on variety), and after a period of four-to-ten years, it achieves a floral quality as well. Refosco should be served at 16 °C (60.8 °F), or if it is particularly rich in tannin, at 18 °C (64.4 °F). It goes best with charcuterie, game, and grilled poultry.〔 ==Varieties== There are several varieties of refosco family:〔http://www.chalmersnurseries.com/www/varieties/refoscodalpeduncolo/refoscodalpeduncolo.htm Chalmers Nurseries - Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, accessed 2011-06-22〕〔(Vina Steras - Refošk ), Slovene, accessed 2011-06-22〕 * Refosco dal peduncolo rosso - probably the most internationally recognizable refosco wine. Cluster has the red stalk (peduncle), referring to the red stem that holds the grapes to the vine. In the attempt of making the wine more approachable to an international palate, recent versions have taken well to new oak and cold fermentation. The most well known examples of Refosco come from the Colli Orientali region of Friuli.〔 * Refosco d'Istria (Refosko Istriano or Refosco dal pedunculo verde) - this variety is grown in Slovenian and Croatian parts of Istria, and around Trieste in Italy under the name of Refošk or Refosco d'Istria.〔 This wine does not benefit from protracted aging.〔 * Teran or Terrano - this refosko variety (and wine) is typical for Carso DOC and Slovenian Karst region under the name Teranno Carso or Kraški teran respectively.〔〔(Friuli – Venezia Giulia Wines ), accessed 2011-06-22〕〔(Matkurja - Teran ), accessed 06/29/2011〕 It is also grown in Croatian Istria on a very similar red soil under the name Istarski Teran. Some claim that Teran is just other refosko varieties grown on Terra Rossa,〔(The Association of Wine Educators - Visit to Slovenia ), accessed 2011-06-22〕 while others consider it its own variety.〔〔(Nepce - Refošk ), Croatian, accessed 06/29/2011〕 * Refosco di Faedis - a variety cultivated in Faedis region, Torreano di Cividale, Povoletto, Attimis, Nimis in northeast region of Province of Udine. It is very rare and produced in small quantities. It is said to be the parent of all other refosko grapes in the region as it has many characteristics of all other refosco varieties (including high levels of acids and iron typical for Teran) 〔(Refosco di Faedis )〕 * Refosco di Rauscedo 〔http://www.eu-vitis.de/datasheet/accDataResult.php?data=ITA368%23SANOSVALDO%2F254U55-79 The European Vitis Database - Refosco di Rauscedo〕 * Refosco nostrano 〔(The European Vitis Database - Refosco nostrano )〕 * Refoscone 〔( The European Vitis Database - Refoscone )〕 - some claim that this is just Refosco di Fadeis.〔(Friuli Tipico - La grande famiglia del vino Refosco friulano: dal Refoscone al Terrano ), Italian, accessed 06/29/2011〕 *Refosco di Guarnieri, another name for the Veneto wine grape Trevisana nera.〔J.
