With cheese
Montasio
Local tradition Qualigeo lists Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso with Montasio. Its dark fruit and brisk acidity cut through the butter-and-hay richness of a Mezzano or older wheel.
Latteria
Local tradition Wikipedia's article on Friulian cuisine lists Refosco among the common reds drunk with frico, Montasio and aged latteria. Its acidity and tannin bite into a firm, savoury wheel.
