If Refosco had a dating profile, it would say “earthy, spicy, and full of charm.” Le Celline’s 2021 vintage shows off this native Friulian grape in all its rustic glory. In the glass, it's a deep ruby hue, flashing hints of violet. On the nose, it’s like stepping into a forest after rain — brambly berries, black pepper, a bit of wild herb. The palate is juicy and lively, with flavours of ripe plum, black cherry, and a savoury edge of leather and spice. A nice backbone of acidity keeps it fresh, and it’s a little wild, a little polished, and totally irresistible

Nestled in the verdant hills in the east of Friuli, Le Celline is all about celebrating Italy’s best-kept wine secrets. This small, family-run estate leans into the traditions of their home turf — think native grapes, hands-on farming, and a love for the land that runs deep. Here, it’s less about chasing trends and more about bottling the true spirit of Friuli: fresh, vibrant, and fiercely authentic. Local varieties, harvested by hand and made with care. Le Celline shines by championing local varieties like Refosco and Friulano, crafting wines that feel like a lively conversation around a family table. With a focus on sustainable practices and low-intervention winemaking, they let the fruit (and the region’s magic) do all the talking. The result? Wines that are refreshingly real, gorgeously food-friendly, and packed with personality.
