{"product_id":"ronchi-di-cialla-schioppettino-2019","title":"Ronchi di Cialla, Schioppettino, 2019","description":"This is the Schioppettino from the family that brought the grape back from the edge, and it's their serious bottling: oak-aged, tightly wound and built to last, unlike the young, fresh RiNera. When Paolo and Dina Rapuzzi founded Ronchi di Cialla in 1970, they tracked down about 60 surviving Schioppettino vines with help from the mayor of Prepotto. The grape wasn't on the list of varieties authorized for planting, so replanting it meant risking a criminal complaint and having the vineyard torn out. Cultivation was declared legal again in 1976, the first vintage followed in 1977, and all the Schioppettino in Friuli (and even California) traces back to them. Their sons Ivan and Pierpaolo, both entomologists who still do research in the field, run the estate today. The fruit comes from two south-facing hillside vineyards in the Cialla valley, an officially recognized cru just under three miles from the Slovenian border, where vines averaging 50 years old grow in Eocene marl and marly sandstone. The family says it can age 20 to 25 years, so think of this 2019 as a bottle with a long road ahead. Their own advice is to serve it around 18°C (about 64°F) and open it a few minutes before pouring.","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961184161849,"sku":"NYC-W-POL-`IRC050`-102726-10","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Ronchi-di-Cialla-Schioppettino-2019-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793178054","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/ronchi-di-cialla-schioppettino-2019","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
