Ronchi di Cialla Schioppettino di Cialla 2019, Fruila-Venezia Giulia, Italy

TASTING NOTES

 

94pts - Vinous

"The 2019 Schioppettino di Cialla is darkly floral with an exotic citrus tinge up front, complicated by sweet herbs, earth tones and wild strawberries. It smooths over the palate, elegant in feel with ripe red and blue fruits complemented by a hint of brown spice, yet all lifted by cooling acidity. This leaves a tart raspberry saturation and rosy inner florals while finishing long and gently tannic with a pleasant bitter bite that pinches at the cheeks. It is already enjoyable today, yet experience confirms that it will also age remarkably well."
