This is one of the original bottlings for the iconic Schiopetto winery, going back to 1968. It's made from the French varieties Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which have a long history in northern Italy. It's medium-bodied, with a mellow disposition and a soft finish. Aged in small to medium-sized oak barrels for around 15 months.
JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "Raspberry, redcurrant bush and bark on the nose. Some lead pencil, too. Full-bodied, but not overpowering, with linear and polished tannins that run the length of the wine. Very solid and structured, yet there is openness at the end."
"Ideal for second dishes white meat and game based; aged cheeses; the elegance and the acidity make a perfect contrast with dishes of octopus." - WINERY NOTES
SUSTAINABLY FARMED
