2007 Colli Orientali del Friuli Schiopetto

Grapes Tocai Friulano
Colour White
Origin Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia
Sub-district Collio
ABV 13.5%

Powerful, intense with spicy, ripe fruit and enough acidity to give a long finish. Definitely a food wine, and one which will continue to evolve well over another year or two in bottle. Try this with Asian food - it is great! L&S (Oct 2009)

A fuller-bodied white that musn't be served too cold. Subtle aromas of almond and white grapefruit. Broad spectrum of flavours carefully knit together. Multi-dimensional - hard to define, and so provides plenty of interest. You'll want more than one glass. 2011-14. Emily O'Hare, Sommelier at the River Café Rating: *****17.5 Decanter Magazine (Feb 2011)

Schiopetto is one of Friuili’s top white winemakers and it shows in this typically Friulian variety, the Friulano, formerly known as Tocai Friulano. The wine is aromatically fresh and complex, a degree of bottle age bringing complexity to the peachy fruit and mineral dry finish. It’s subtle, elegant stuff from the maestro.

White melon and ginger nose. Very billowy - white stone fruit, apples and soft smokiness. Tamlyn Currin - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jun 2010)

Schiopetto

Mario Schiopetto is recognised as the true father of Friulan oenology, transforming the wines of the region from the once traditionally heavy and alcoholic to the better known fresh and aromatic wines produced today. His was a philosophy of simplicity, technology and sensitivity, all of which is continued by the new generation, Maria Angela, Carlo and Giorgio who today manage the estate. These are Italy's finest white wines.
