Marco Sara
Friuli Colli Orientali Schioppettino


A relatively obscure grape in America, Marco Sara being one of the better offerings that I have tasted since my first experience at the Ristorante al Gobbo di Rialto in Venice years ago.
VM: 90. Masses of violet and lavender florals give way to crushed wild berries and peppery herbs as the 2022 Schioppettino blossoms in the glass. This is sleek and racy with cooling acidity, crisp red berry fruits and savory spices. Zesty acidity maintains fabulous energy throughout. It finishes staining and long yet only lightly tannic, leaving the mouth watering for more.
