A stately, well-structured red from Friuli. This one had the maturity and mellow character of a wine almost a decade old. The tannins, though no doubt softened over the years, provided enough structure to allow this schioppettino to continue ageing, even if only for a couple more years. Blueberries and vanilla were present on the nose, whereas the palate presented flavors of prunes, raisins, plums, and a hint of tobacco. Very happy to have procured this bottle; it was a great pairing for our Easter leg of lamb! 100% Schioppettino. 4/17/22. — 4 years ago
Schioppettino. Rustic, earthy funkiness. Blackberries, citrus pith, white pepper, brambles. Apparently rare in the US, from Fermented Grapes. — 6 years ago

No oak influence. Not a complex wine, but pleasing medium bodied mouth watering cherry and lots of pepper. Enjoyed this. — 6 years ago
Yummy bottle. Deliciously soft texture with an unmistakable spiciness on the back of the palate. Ripe fruit, black pepper, slightly herbaceous. Stunning bottle...great way to end a Monday! — 7 years ago

This is a spectacular Schioppettino! Peppery, spicy, gorgeous strawberry and blackberry, and fresh acidity on the finish. — 8 years ago
Wow. Amazing earth and perfume nose, cherry and spice flavor. This Schioppettino and Refosco blend is a truly great wine, and is now (2017) ready for drinking. I'm surprised by its low Vivino scores. — 8 years ago

Ruby red, cedar, crushed dried roses, earthy earthy like mushrooms, cherry glaze.
Wine just wakes me right up!
Mmmm jammy, delicious, spice component with cinnamon and red pepper kick. Well-balanced acidity, harmonious sips, really playin up the medium body.
Lovely. Good find at Frankly in Tribeca!
Perfect to watch The Sopranos with (apparently Schioppettino translates to gunshot). I mean come on… — 3 years ago
