Friuli's great success story gets a new chapter here: the Schioppettino, a native red grape that nearly vanished from history before being revived in the 1970s. Ronco del Gnemiz doesn't just make Schioppettino—they make one of the world's finest expressions of this revived varietal, sourcing from vines aged 5 to 60+ years. The 2023 is elegant but structured, with a peppery signature that feels like ground white pepper dusted across red berries and subtle floral notes. Whole-cluster fermentation and 9 months in neutral oak preserve the wine's varietal character while adding complexity. This is not a heavy wine; it's a wine that proves great reds don't need to overpower. With moderate tannins, vibrant acidity, and minerality from the Ponca terroir, the Schioppettino becomes almost miraculous at the table—equally at home with grilled vegetables, antipasti, or aged cheese. It's wine-world discovery territory: a varietal with medieval roots that tastes entirely of the present moment.

More about Ronco del Gnemiz

Ronco del Gnemiz sits atop Rosazzo hill in Friuli's Colli Orientali, where Serena Palazzolo and her sons (with winemaker Christian Patat) farm organically on Ponca sandstone soils. White wines with bright acidity, carefully oaked reds in the Bordeaux style, all marked by mineral intensity. The vineyard is 60 years old, yields are kept low, and the wines can age for three to five years. This is northern Italian precision.
