Split by the Tagliamento river, Grave del Friuli extends from Pordenone to Udine, the alluvial (gravelly) soil, washed down from the mountains eons ago, gives the region its name. The Castellargo winery, founded in 1978, deftly blends fragrant Refosco, spicy Cabernet Franc and full-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon, maturing the harmonious cuvée in barrel.
