Description
The Schioppettino is a forthright wine which is popular because it is graceful yet has no pretense of wanting to impress. Purplish red in color it is dry with mellow tannins and a pleasant finish. Although full-bodied is has a fairly low ABV and is fresh tasting. It displays a marked spiciness especially if the grapes come from gravelly soils while the fruity expression of berry fruit such as raspberry wild blackberry blueberry but also cherry and watermelon is more evident in grapes grown on marly clay soils and red earth. Over time it becomes enriched with elegant aromas of autumn leaves. Pair with tasty meat dishes such as roasted beef lamb veal rib-eye or filet steak. Also an excellent accompaniment to wild boar or venison.
