Review Date: 08/2024Pear, lemon, lime and matchstick aromas. Plenty of sauvignon blanc character, but it’s not overdone. Full-bodied with a very dense palate and plenty of exotic fruit, but it’s tight and focused at the end. Drink now.

The 2023 Schiopetto Sauvignon Blanc Collio is a crystalline and sophisticated expression of Friulian white wine, widely considered a benchmark for the region. On the nose, it is intensely aromatic and precise, offering a layered bouquet of pear, lemon, and lime zest interwoven with exotic fruit notes and a distinctive "matchstick" smokiness. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and exceptionally dense, balancing a ripe core of tropical fruit with high-toned green notes of mint, nettle, and tomato leaf. It finishes with striking tension and focus, marked by a savory, salty minerality and a persistent citrus lift that reflects the unique marly soils of Capriva del Friuli.
