Vigna Lenuzza Schioppettino di Prepotto 2020 Review
Schioppettino is a unique variety local to northeastern Italy's Friuli region that was saved from near-extinction in the 1970s. This bottle showcases the grape's inherent savory characteristics, with hints of black pepper and earth that balance out its more fruit-forward notes of strawberries and cherries. This wine also has a grippy tannic structure and bright acidity, making it an incredibly food-friendly bottle.
