Schioppettino di Prepotto DOC Friuli Colli Orientali 2022 - Ronco Dei Pini
- Stock: In Stock
The name Schioppettino comes from its ancient Friulian name, “Scopp“, which in turn can be traced back to the crunch of its grapes when put in the mouth. Schioppettino is also called Ribolla Nera and is the most famous native black grape from Friuli. Despite its thousand-year history, at the beginning of the 1970s the vine was almost extinct due to diseases, first Oidium and then Phylloxera.
Prepotto, a land where the grapes have unmistakable characteristics within the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC area, where the aromas stand out due to the unique microclimate created by significant temperature variations.
The Novello family harvests by hand the 11 hectares of Cappuccina-trained vineyards to ensure the best possible selection of grapes, which give rise to high-quality wines. From the oldest vineyards come the grapes destined for the "Ronco dei Pini" brand.
