Tasting Notes
"A wine with gorgeous fruit such as peaches in addition to spices and minerals. Very aromatic. Medium-to full-bodied, very spicy and very intense. Powerful and rich. Almost burns with spiciness. Dense center palate. Great finish. Superb wine. Savory."

The Producer
Schiopetto
In the 1960s, Mario Schiopetto established his own winery, introducing both French and New World winemaking techniques to Friuli for the first time. His innovations, such as using stainless fermentation tanks for whites and French oak barrels for reds, are now standard practices. Schiopetto was a pioneer in bringing French vine clones to Friuli, implementing high-density plantings, and prioritizing ripeness over tradition during grape picking. Additionally, he broke away from the local co-operative norm by being one of the first significant producers in Friuli to bottle his own wines instead of selling in bulk. Moreover, Schiopetto was among the early advocates of vinifying each grape parcel separately to capture the unique terroir nuances.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Schiopetto served as both an inspiration and training ground for many of today's renowned names in Friuli winemaking. Today, the estate spans 30 hectares across four of Collio's best 'Crus.' The tradition of vinifying individual fruit parcels separately continues, employing specific yeasts from each corresponding parcel, while the whites are exclusively processed in stainless steel. Mario Schiopetto passed away in 2003, and his children managed the estate until its sale to Emilio Rotolo, the owner of another esteemed estate, Volpe Pasini, in 2014. Emilio's approach was to maintain the estate's quality, essence, and reputation, resulting in these wines remaining among Italy's finest white offerings.
