Schioppettino (Ribolla Nera, Pocalza)

The name "Schioppettino" comes from the Italian word "schioppo," which means "small gunshot," referring to the grape's tendency to have a slightly explosive, popping sensation when bitten into due to its thick skin

Varietal Origin: Schioppettino is a red grape variety that is indigenous to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy, particularly in the Colli Orientali del Friuli area. It is also known as Ribolla Nera or Pocalza in some regions.

Typical Taste Profile: Schioppettino wines are known for their rich and complex flavors, with notes of blackberries, black cherries, spices, and earthy undertones. The wines are often medium-bodied with moderate tannins and acidity, and can display both fruity and savory characteristics.

Winemaking Techniques: Schioppettino is typically made into red wines, although it can also be used for rosé and sparkling wines. It is often fermented in stainless steel or small oak barrels, and may undergo extended maceration to extract the desired flavors and tannins. Some producers also age Schioppettino in oak barrels to add complexity to the wine.

Food Pairings: Schioppettino pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, roasted game, aged cheeses, and charcuterie. Its bold flavors and moderate tannins make it a good match for hearty, savory dishes and game meats.
