Vigna Petrussa | Schioppettino RiNera Unoaked Red Wine
This is an unoaked Schioppettino from a women owned winery who spearheaded the rebirth of Schioppettino in the 'birthplace' of the grape which is Prepotto, Fruili. The grapes actually come from Prepotto but since it is not aged in oak the winery is not 'allowed' to put Prepotto on the label. Having a deep purple-garnet color, it has notes of black pepper and dark fruit. Its taste is tangy, fresh and juicy with a long clean finish. Pairs with many dishes from hamburgers to roast pork.
