In Roman times, the intensity of the aroma and ruby red colour of this wine perfectly matched the atmosphere inside the Colosseum as gladiators fought and free citizens quite possibly swigged Refosco. Famously, it was also the favourite tipple of Emperor Augustus’ wife Livia. Full-bodied with plum and almond notes, Refosco has been produced in North East Italy for over 2,000 years, and you can match it with roasted anything – veggies, meat or game. - Learn more about When In Rome

When In Rome Italian Craft Wine
Forget everything you know (or think you know) about box wine. Our great-tasting wine is one of Italy's best kept secrets. Made by small, independent producers - this is craft wine at its finest. Country folk in Italy like to visit their local winery with a refillable container - fill it with wine, take it home, decant and enjoy. At When in Rome, we put high quality, authentic wines like these into boxes and bring them to the UK. Once opened, each box stays fresh for up to six weeks and, because box wine is far cheaper to package and transport, you’ll get more wine for your money. View the When In Rome page
