Schioppettino has its cradle in the Prepotto area, where climate, soil and local culture have created a true terroir. An autochthonous variety par excellence, it is distinguished by its class, elegance and hints of spicy scents. So much so that it has been called “the Pinot Noir of Friuli”.
In 2008, the sub-area of Schioppettino di Prepotto was established – within the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC – consecrating it as a real grand cru.

FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI DOC
Ruby red with slightly garnet hues. It has notes of ripe red berries, with spicy notes of incense, pepper and clove. Schioppettino is a wine whose hallmarks are finesse and elegance. A gentle red wine, but nevertheless capable of achieving an excellent complexity thanks to a precious balance between nose and taste. This is confirmed by its excellent aromatic persistence on the finish which echoes the spicy tones.

A versatile red wine, capable of surprising combinations, such as pasta alla Norma, aubergines parmigiana or noble fish dishes cooked Mediterranean style (turbot, dentex, tuna, amberjack) and the traditional “boreto” – a soup of mixed fish in true Grado’s style. It is also perfect with meats from farmyard animals, up to game (roe deer, chamois, deer, fallow deer).
