Mineral lean. Almost thin. But delicious concrete and flint. Last year for this vintage I think — 5 months ago

Lighter bodied. Pepper is right. Not tons of upfront fruit. But what is there is dark black (cherry?) and nice. Simple and good. — 7 months ago

New producer to me
Apparently he has been a benchmark for pignolo and schioppettino for a long time
Wine style is big
Wines get released after many years depending when he thinks they are ready
The schioppettino gave me the best impression
Fruit, spices(coriander seeds and white pepper) and a bit of incense
You keep swirling you will get more and more
Very long
Hard to find and a bit pricey — 2 years ago

Cherry, with dark fruit but still bright and light, with a sweet but slightly nutty finish. — 5 months ago

Bellissimo! I always buy this varietal whenever I see it - reminds me of traveling through Friuli… this was gorgeous, classy rendition w/tons of pretty aromatics and deep rich flavors, true to typicity, balanced smooth & impressive thru finish — 9 months ago

The 2019 Schioppettino is remarkably pretty and floral, with violets and roses complementing its wild red berries and hints of smoke. This is soft-textured and lifted in feel, yet also packed full of fleshy raspberry fruit, as exotic spices build within. It leaves a tinge of sour citrus while finishing lightly structured and with a staining like liquid lavender. Lovers of Schioppettino will fall head over heels for the 2019.

Nice but I think a bit less so than previous iterations of this wine. Maybe better a couple years ago, this felt slightly thin at first. But overall still a wonderfully interesting version of Schioppettino - lots of good earth and spice and acid in balance. — 9 months ago

Really fresh, fun and drinkable. Good complexity too. Like an Italian Beaujolais. — 3 years ago

A stately, well-structured red from Friuli. This one had the maturity and mellow character of a wine almost a decade old. The tannins, though no doubt softened over the years, provided enough structure to allow this schioppettino to continue ageing, even if only for a couple more years. Blueberries and vanilla were present on the nose, whereas the palate presented flavors of prunes, raisins, plums, and a hint of tobacco. Very happy to have procured this bottle; it was a great pairing for our Easter leg of lamb! 100% Schioppettino. 4/17/22. — 3 years ago
