In Collio, Friulano takes on a distinctive character: generous fruit balanced by freshness and a savoury edge. Schiopetto’s expression is made from 100% Friulano grapes grown on well-ventilated hillsides with predominantly Eocene marl soils.

Collio depth with a lively finish

Bright straw yellow with green-gold highlights, the wine opens with pear, apricot and wildflower aromas, followed by a delicate hint of almond. The palate is full yet lively, with a savoury streak carrying the fruit through the finish.

Eight months on the lees

After gentle pressing and a short settling period, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, initiated with a pied de cuve starter. The wine then spends eight months on the lees, building texture while retaining freshness.

Food pairings and critical acclaim

An excellent match for San Daniele prosciutto, egg and asparagus dishes or seafood starters. The 2023 vintage earned 95/100 from James Suckling and 90/100 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.
