Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino
Colli Orientali Del Friuli, Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
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.

Man this was spot on with copious amount of red fruit fused with violets spice and some herbaceous resin notes. Solid tannic structure and it just got better as it opened
