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

Clean, medium intense but concentrated aromas with a good spicy and savory complexity. Tart at first, but gets more round wirh some air. Red cherries and plums, crushed pepper, dried spice (thyme), bacon, and a pronounced mineral characters of warm stones.
Dry palate with a high acidity, medium well balanced alcohol and medium + tannins with a firm texture that is well encapsuled by a high intense fruit profile with complexity from an earthy and spicy base note. The mid palate shows a good fatigue as the fruit levels up and grasp around the fresh acidity and stony center core through a slong finish .
Brilliant!

Mineral nose with bright cherries. Light body, moderate acids, very good food wine.

Really interesting and good. Almost a California or French nose, but still and Italian mouthfeel and sentiment.

Medium-bodied and bumping. Schiopettino cherry-popped, a combination of words never written in English until today.

Jul 11th, 2015Schioppettino means shotgun in italian. It's because the grapes have a tendency to explode. Seemingly light on the first sip, the black pepper perfume explodes on the nose and palate, almost rose-y in its attack.
