Sensory Description: The wine presents a bright ruby red color with subtle violet hues, a result of its carefully controlled fermentation process. On the nose, it opens with a distinct black pepper spice note, followed by sweet, delicate fruit aromas, particularly plums. This elegant bouquet gives way to a silky mouthfeel with refined tannins and balanced acidity, providing a sophisticated structure. The wine’s balance and finesse evoke comparisons to Pinot Noir, a unique characteristic among Friulian native reds.
Producer's Background: Founded in 1997 by the Bastianich family, the winery encompasses 27 hectares of vineyards in the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC region. The family's roots in winemaking extend back to their involvement with top Friulian winemaking families in the 1970s and 1980s. Their passion for both wine and their homeland led them to establish vineyards in one of Italy's most esteemed wine-producing regions. The Bastianich philosophy is to craft wines that reflect the rich history and culture of Friuli, combining power and balance to create wines that speak of place.
Serving Suggestions: This Schioppettino pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from local Friulian specialties like frico and cjarsons to roasted meats, feathered game, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled at around 60–65°F (16–18°C) to best enjoy its vibrant acidity and complex flavors.
