Ronchi di Cialla Schioppettino Colli Orientali del Friuli Cialla, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy 2019

Description

A benchmark expression of Schioppettino from the historic Cialla valley, where the variety was revived by the Ronchi di Cialla estate. The 2019 offers lifted aromatics of black pepper, violet, wild berry, and earthy spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and refined, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and layers of dark cherry, plum, and savory herbs. The finish is long and peppery, showcasing both elegance and distinctive varietal character. A true reference point for Friulian Schioppettino with excellent aging potential.
