The beauty of Schioppettino, also known as Ribolla Nera, lies in the excellent balance of its characteristics: soft tannins, a fruity nose that develops hints of licorice and balsamic notes over the years, and a fresh, refined palate.
La Magnolia holds a special affection for this historic Friulian native variety and produces it with great care, starting with courageous vine thinning and the hand-harvest of the best grape clusters.
In the winery, skin-contact fermentation lasts 12 days at 25 °C with frequent délestages to enhance extraction. After malolactic fermentation and numerous rackings, La Magnolia’s Schioppettino rests in stainless steel for several months before bottling.
Enticing notes of sweet spices, clove and dark fruit stand out, evolving into tobacco and hay.
PAIRING: excellent with fatty meats and flavorful cheeses.
