The Schioppettino di Bastianich was born from 100% Schioppettino grapes grown on soils characterised by calcareous marl located on the hills of Premariacco, Cividale and Prepotto in the province of Udine, at an altitude between 150 and 200 metres above sea level. After harvesting by hand, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and sent to alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature for 18 days. After separating the skins, the malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats where 50% of the mass is refined for 7 months, the remaining 50% rests in oak barrels of 30 hl. After clarification and filtration, the wine rests in the bottle for a further 2 months.

SCHIOPPETTINO BASTIANICH: TASTING

The Schioppettino DOC Vigne Orsone di Bastianich announces itself in the glass with a pale ruby red colour. The nose releases clear hints of red berries combined with notes of dark spices including black pepper. On the palate, it is fresh and round, with strong but well-integrated tannins and a pleasantly spicy finish. At the table, it goes well with cured meats and semi-aged cheeses and simple and straightforward land recipes based on white meats, red meats or feathered game.
