Fun Fact Thursday: Schioppettino 🍷
Also known as Ribolla Nera, Schioppettino is one of Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s most distinctive native red grapes. Its name is thought to come from scoppiettare—“to crackle,” “pop,” or “burst”—possibly referring to the grape’s crunchy berries or the slight fizz once found in young w**es.
This expression from Bastianich delivers deep ruby color, wild berries, black cherry, plum, violet, to***co, spice, and the grape’s signature black-pepper character. Firm tannins and bright acidity give it structure, freshness, and excellent food-pairing potential.
Perfect with grilled meats, lamb, wild game, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
Have you ever tasted Schioppettino?
