Description
Schioppettino (also called Ribolla Nera) originates in the Friuli region of Italy and Slovenia, and usually you’ll find it from only the most boutique Italian importers. Matthiasson has one of the few plantings in California. An ancient grape, Schioppettino, which means “gunshot,” is distantly related to Syrah and Pinot Noir, and shares the same peppery nose. When grown in Napa, Schioppettino has fascinating flavors of cedar, white and black pepper, flowers, and raspberry. It is incredibly fresh tasting, with a stony minerality and a naturally low alcohol level. The wine has tons and tons of flavor, yet is feather light on the palate. It’s made from just two rows of vines in Matthiasson’s Oak Knoll Vineyard in Napa Valley!!
