Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino
Colli Orientali Del Friuli, Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
I had no expectations going in for this one— I had never heard of the grower or the varietal (Schioppettino - “little rifle”) before. Spicy pepper and blackberry on the nose, it manages to maintain both of those whilst adding tannins and acids for a balanced, yet very interesting wine. It’s all the more interesting for being a part of the “Vini Veri” movement: no pesticides or GMOs, or alterations to fermentation. Well worth a try.

Perfect red blend for a hearty Italian meal - pork ragu, roasted pig or Florentine steak. Hints of roses, berries and smooth tannins....
