The 2023 Schiopetto Collio Friulano is a refined and quintessential expression of the region’s historic grape, sourced from the marl-heavy "Ponca" soils of Capriva del Friuli. On the nose, it is strikingly complex and minerally, offering aromas of grilled lemon, dried apple, and pear accented by distinctive notes of smoky matchstick, wildflowers, and a faint hint of classic almond. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and energetic, balancing a structured, creamy texture with tangy acidity and flavors of honeysuckle and fresh lemongrass. It finishes with aristocratic poise, marked by a lingering saline minerality and the variety’s signature delicate bitter almond twist.
