Peduncolo Rosso
Synonym: Refosco, Refosco Nostrano, Mondeuse
Noire (France).
Commonly mistaken for: Refosco di Faedis, Refosco
d’Istria, Refosco di Rauscedo, Refoscone.
Origin: It had its origins in Friuli (North eastern of Italy); this historical vine
is considered one of the most important and probably the best of the group of
vines called “Refoschi”. Famous already in 1700, it has had, in the last ten
years, a notable diffusion in the others regions especially in Friuli Venezia Giulia
and Veneto, where it has replaced
the other more productive Refoschi.
Agronomic and environmental
aspects:
It has a preference for soils with a good percentage of
clay, rich in calcium carbonate and in rock fragments. Medium or wide training
systems. The vine is not suitable for training systems designed for complete mechanisation;
in fact it prefers a long pruning. Good and constant yield.
Diseases, pests and disorders: Good resistance to extreme
weather conditions; susceptible to downy mildew and phomopsis, slightly to
powdery mildew. It has resistance to botrytis and Esca.
