Schioppettino di Prepotto Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC Ronco Severo 2019

Schioppettino di Prepotto Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC is a red wine made by the historic Ronco Severo winery. The label is obtained by vinifying only grapes of the native Schioppettino vine, which are grown on the Collio vineyards. Here the vines enjoy the enormous benefits deriving from the characteristic substrate known locally with the term ponka, inside which there are high percentages of marl and sandstone. This soil gives the grapes structure and minerality. At the conclusion of the meticulous work carried out between the rows, the slightly late harvest takes place when the grapes have reached overripeness. In the cellar, the fermentation on indigenous yeasts also involves a long maceration on the skins. The refinement phase lasts 30 months and takes place in large oak barrels which give the wine a pleasant softness. Excellent immediately, Schioppettino di Prepotto Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC is a red wine that lends itself to evolutions of 4-5 years.
