Note di degustazione
This wine is a pure delight. A light and lean-bodied red, the 2018 Friuli Colli Orientali Sottozona Cialla Schioppettino di Cialla shows a distinctive bouquet with tart berry fruits, blood orange, spice and white pepper. The mouthfeel is lean, with freshness and energy, concluding with a contained 12.5% alcohol content. Production is about 13,000 bottles with some larger formats too. This winery played an important role in bringing back this indigenous grape from near extinction in the 1970s (when fewer than 100 vines existed).

The 2018 Schioppettino di Cialla is impossible to ignore. It's profoundly floral and herbal with rose petals, wilted violets, wet stone and ginger-tinged blackberry aromas. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness and richer than expected, yet perfectly balanced, with depths of ripe wild berry fruits contrasted by spiced blood orange. For all of its depth and concentration, fresh acidity lifts the experience through the finish, leaving a candied citrus and white pepper tinge while tapering off classically dry. What a beauty. The 2018 is the child of a cool vintage, yet there's so much power and density here. Bury your bottles deep.
