RONCHI DI CIALLA SCHIOPPETTINO DI CIALLA 2017

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Founded by the Rapuzzi family in 1970 at Cialla, one of the cooler, less sunlit areas of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Ronchi di Cialla's wines are known for their cool-climate personalities and elegant lightly tannic framework. Located just a few kilometers from the Slovenian border, Ronchi di Cialli are visionires for their work with the native varieties of schioppettino, picolit, verduzzo, ribolla gialla, refosco del peduncolo rosso and friulano.

The 2017 Schioppettino di Cialla is wildly spicy and fresh, with an intense burst of peppery rose and smokey raspberry offset by a dusting of savory spice. This is silky-smooth and sapid with masses of mineral-tinged dark red fruits offset by zesty acidity. It finishes potent with a staining of primary concentration and a coating of sweet tannins. What a beauty, and with the potential for a very long life. In 2017, Ronchi di Cialla lost 30% of their production due to frost at the end of April. Eric Guido, Vinous
