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.
Type of Wine: Red
Grape: Schioppettino
Appellation: Venezia Giulia IGT
Alcohol % by Vol: 13%
Vintage: 2018 | 2020

Vigna Petrussa Schioppettino di Prepotto Natural Wine Red
Prepotto is the birthplace of the hard-to-find Schioppettino varietal. It gets its name from the Italian 'schioppare' or to burst, since the grape 'bursts' in your mouth when you eat it. Aromas and tastes of black pepper and plums. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for two to two and a half years in oak barriques. Strong cheese lovers love to indulge in this wine.
Gold Medal Decanter, plus many other awards. Vigna Petrussa's oak-aged 2019 Schioppettino won the prestigious 3 Bicchieri Award by Gambero Rosso.
