I Clivi Schioppettino - Venezia Giulia, Friuli, Italy
The color is brilliant ruby red, with a moderate transparency. The nose reveals scents of cherry and strawberry, with a slight peppery-spiciness. In the mouth it shows a prominent acidity, a medium body and a delicacy reminiscent of red-fruit pulp.
Farmed organically, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel with roughly 14 days of skin contact, and aged without oak influence in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity. This wine is a fresh, medium-bodied, low-intervention red wine that emphasizes vibrant acidity, delicate red fruit, and trademark peppery spice.
