Schioppettino is also known as
Ribolla Nera. Another native variety which has almost
died out.
Fermentation takes place in stainless
steel, ageing is in French oak barrels for eight
months.
Schioppettino's distinctive feature is its nose,
which is dominated by characteristic notes of green
pepper layered over red fruit and leather. The palate
is perfectly balanced, lingering, and velvet-smooth.
Versatile in food pairing, it matches
perfectly with fried food, tempura and white meat.
