Although the grape composition of this wine may vary, the most interesting blend is made from the international Merlot and the local Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso. This type of wine allows no aromatic grapes.
Colli Orientali del Friuli Rosazzo Rosso DOC has an intense red color, which turns to garnet with age. The scent is vinous and characteristic, while the taste is full-bodied and dry.
A barrel-aged Colli Orientali del Friuli Rosazzo Rosso DOC is also available, with a minimum 12% alcohol content and a period of aging of no less than 3 years before released on the market.
It should be noted that the production of this type of white wine was stopped in 2011, following the introduction of new DOC regulations. As of the 2012 vintage, the only wines produced are the red wine Friuli Colli Orientali Rosazzo Pignolo DOC and the white wine Friuli Coli Orientali Rosazzo Ribolla Gialla DOC.
