located on the Colli Orientali del Friuli Venezia Giulia region

Around a hill guarded by its own genius loci, in Friuli's Colli Orientali (Eastern Hills) area, the Zorzettig family found the land of its dreams:  the vineyard.  There is no denying the place has a magic of its own, a charm that comes from overlapping traces of many ages and many generations:  the little church dedicated to San Giuseppe, built in Anno Domini 1522, is the visible evidence of such an ancient history.  The Zorzettigs wanted to enclose the old memories and the magic of the place into the name that signs their wines: "La Chiesetta".

Schioppettino - DOC (2005)

This red wine with violet shades is a full-bodied wine with a good fixed acidity. Additionally, it is fresh and citrusy with a perfume that recalls wild blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry.  With ageing it evolves into an elegant bouquet of underwood, musk, and aromatic wood. 

Schioppettino is recommended for pasta and game.  Best served between 60º - 68ºF.
