This red wine has the same grape composition as the non barrel-aged Friuli Colli Orientali Schioppettino di Prepotto DOC, which is, at the same time, a subzone under the Friuli Colli Orientali DOC main zone. The production is centered around the municipality of Prepotto and in parts of the neighboring Cialla DOC subzone.
The wine is made from Schioppettino grapes (85-100%) with the permitted addition of local, red grapes (0-15%). The grapes must be handpicked.
The barrel-aged Friuli Colli Orientali Schioppettino di Prepotto Riserva DOC has a period of aging of no less than 1 year in casks. Released on the market after September 1st of the 4th year after the harvest.
The result is a ruby red wine, with violet hints. The scent is typical and elegant, with notes of spices and berries, while the taste is velvety, full-bodied and dry with hints of green pepper.
Enjoyed with heavy dishes.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
Most tourists who have visited Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley), have probably never given the region’s name or wines a second thought. Here it’s about skiing on the dramatic slopes around Breuil-Cervinia, at the base of the gigantic mountain, Matterhorn. But the region offers exciting things to do in the après-ski department.
