Ronchi di Cialla 2019 Friuli Colli Orientale Schioppettino

Schioppettino is a perfect example of Italy's diversity of regional grapes which are not widely planted. In Italian it translates to 'little pop' or 'little crack', which is a reference to the peppery and effusive nature of its flavor profile. Often lean in body, with a spicy, peppery nose and florals to back it up- this is a grape for lovers of Pineau d'Aunis or Pelaverga! Of course, in the hands of Ronchi di Cialla with 7 years of age, this is stunning wine with layers of earth, raspberry, dried strawberry, and freshly cracked pepper.
