Stroppolatini | Schioppettino - Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2018

★★★★☆
Rated 3.9 on Vivino

The Schioppettino vine is native to the municipality of Prepotto, less than a kilometer from the company. The wine is placed together with the “noble lees” in second passage tonneau of French or Slavonian oak for over 36 months. Hints of pepper and incense, with balsamic notes of undergrowth. Dry, silky and very delicate, characterized by a fresh acidity and spicy notes left on the palate.
