More questions
The Refosco of Perusini is born in the traditional area of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the rich soil and cool climate enhance the robust character of this indigenous grape variety. This wine stands out for its intense red color with violet reflections, which announces a complex and enveloping bouquet. On the nose, scents of ripe wild berries such as blackberries and cherries emerge, accompanied by hints of spices and a delicate herbal note typical of Refosco.
On the palate, it is full and structured, with well-present but soft tannins, supported by a pleasant acidity that gives freshness and persistent elegance. Perusini generally matures in wooden barrels, a process that imparts depth and harmony without overpowering the natural expressiveness of the grape variety. Perfect paired with meat dishes, aged cheeses, and traditional Friulian recipes, it represents an authentic and surprising experience in the regional wine scene.

The story
The Perusini family has been linked to Friulian viticulture for generations: the family home preserves historical artifacts, and the winery was included by Luigi Veronelli among the "historic winemakers." Over the centuries, family members have selected and promoted indigenous grape varieties—chiefly Picolit and Ribolla Gialla—and that work has been passed down to the current family stewards, who combine tradition with a commitment to research and innovation.
Production philosophy
The company places viticulture at the centre: quality in the vineyard is prioritised to produce wines that express the terroir and the vintage. Its management combines respect for tradition, protection of biodiversity and the adoption of modern winemaking methods. From an environmental standpoint, the company follows sustainable practices and adheres to the principles of certified organic production.
