- TASTING NOTE: Bright red color from purple to ruby. Easy on tannins, it floats on the palate, bringing back the spicy and fruity notes perceived on the nose.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Schioppettino is an extremely demanding grape variety in terms of climate, it performs best in cool and breezy environments, without stagnant humidity due to its susceptibility to fungal diseases. It is the last grape harvested on the estate, generally late October. It has been fermented and aged in cement tanks. Native to Northeastern Friuli, difficult and unconventional, yet capable of producing wines of great contemporaneity. Schioppettino isn't an opulent wines but a rather slender and elegant one, with typical spiciness.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Venchiarezza was founded by Luca Caporale, who restarted the small family estate from his grandfather Guido. The first choice he made was to farm the land organically, followed by the 'Vigna del Tempo' project in which he recovered old-vine buds from native varieties grafted on the rootstocks for the estate's first 'mass selection' vineyards. Luca has used these buds to plant his new vineyards instead of clonal selection rootstocks.
