Ronchi di Cialla
Colli Orientali del Friuli Schioppettino di Cialla
Colli Orientali Del Friuli, Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
A new tasting experience on several levels. Had never heard of or tasted this grape varietal, Schioppettino. I was looking for a lighter red off the menu at Settimo, Guy Grossi’s new Brisbane venture. Chosen purely because of its location in Friuli ie. cooler climate. The Somm was in the dark but the wine ended up being a revelation. Red cherry and cranberry - intense white pepper on nose and palate. Dried red florals. Love this style. Will be on the lookout for this Cuvée in the future.

Nov 26th, 2023Lovely Schioppettino accompanying gnocchi with white truffle and Dover sole. The smooth and medium body somehow worked with fish and gnocchi even though a white wine would have been a more expected match. A beautiful match and an underrated wine.

Intriguing. Really opened up on day 2. Savory, peppery.
