Description

Schioppettino is a dark-skinned grape variety native to Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the far northeastern corner of Italy. Having declined in plantings massively in the late 19th and 20th Centuries, it was saved from extinction in the 1970s, and is now regaining the respect and recognition it once enjoyed.

Most Schioppettino wines are medium-bodied, deeply-colored, aromatic on the nose (violets and red berries) and spicy to the palate ("peppery" and "earthy" are oft-encountered descriptors). Schioppettino is most often produced as a dry red wine, but can also be made into sparkling spumante versions - a local specialty of Friuli.
