Refosco 2002
A difficult and rainy vintage. And if in fact the olfactory definition is all in all excellent (but certainly we are not dealing with photo retouching), what is missing is a little healthy concentration right from the colour, garnet ruby but with a slightly colored edge. Insisted on notes of graphite and roasted artichoke with perfumes, but without reductions and without bitterness. Earthy but not rustic finish. On the other hand, extraction and overall compactness are excellent.

Ronchi di Cialla
Ronchi Di Cialla, in translation: the hills of Cialla, is located in the appeal Colli Orientali del Friuli, definitely the most valued in the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region. When Paolo and Dina Rapuzzi bought the Cialla estate in the 1970s, determined to devote themselves to growing local varieties, Schioppettino was considered an extinct variety known from manuscripts and memories of older people. The two managed to collect 70 vines from the area, which allowed them to plant an entire plot, thus saving this variety from extinction. The very first samples show that the variety ages very well and is not inferior to the large international varieties in elegance and complexity. To date, all Schioppettino vines are clones of those rescued by the Rapuzzi family. When you are on the Italian wave, instead of reaching for Nebbiolo or Sangiovese, try this resurrected variety. Deliver this pleasure to your palate.
