Product name Schioppettino di Cialla 2018
Color Dry red.
Perfume Bouquet of exceptional elegance and personality. The clearest sensations are white pepper and small red fruits, currant and blackberry, intriguing balsamic and undergrowth notes.
Taste Savoury and full, with fruity sensations in balance with the minerality; the supporting tannin is fragrant and well ripe. Although it is a wine with good structure, it has a refined, almost silky balance; it is baroque, aristocratic, with great elegance and long life; full character and breed.
Pairings Pairs well with elegant dishes that recall the spiciness and finesse of the wine. It also marries well with traditional dishes such as roasted white and red meat; meat with light sauces; free range poultry and feathered game; mushroom-based dishes, medium and hard crust cheeses, medium-flavoured cheeses. With ageing, it acquires complexity and elegance and is an excellent accompaniment to white and summer truffles.

From this winery
While Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi, who founded it in 1970, were attracted by wine growing as a way of living, their children Pierpaolo and Ivan belong to a generation that was "raised among the vines". Both of them have, in fact, a degree in Food Sciences and are agrarian experts; they firmly support the Ronchi di Cialla policy and immemorial wine making tradition in Friuli.

Our family has become an uncommon heir of ancient traditions on one hand, and modern scientific knowledge on the other, making this small family business extraordinary.
