“del Pompiere” Sauvignon Venezia Giulia IGT 2021
Mario Schiopetto was born in 1930, he grew up in the family-owned Osteria ai Pompieri and had his first professional experiences as a fireman and later as a truck driver. In 1963, guided only by his taste and love of wine, he began to devote himself to wine production in his parents' farm and produced the first pure Tocai in 1965. The historic label at the time included the drawing of his fire engine, which he also used to deliver the wine to customers. With the 2019 vintage, the winery recalled these historical roots and resumed the cute drawing on part of its wine labels.
Light straw yellow with greenish shimmer. Fine, not too strong bouquet of exotic fruits, some gooseberry and notes of white flowers. Very good balance on the palate, good volume, drinky and with a nice tension between green fruity and fine spicy notes. A very harmonious Sauvignon that does not score with opulence and directness, but with elegance and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

Attractive Pinot Gris from Friuli with green apple and orange blossom, a hint of wet stones and coriander on the nose. Pleasantly medium-bodied on the palate and wonderfully fresh on the final. Appealing and sophisticated. SUPERIORE.DE
"On the nose, sliced apples, lemon pith, orchid flowers and crushed stones. A hint of white pepper. Medium-bodied, fresh, salty and slightly phenolic. Clean and crisp. Very attractive and approachable." James Suckling

Schiopetto's classic, as it has been produced since 1986. Pale yellow with greenish reflections. Yellow fruity on the nose with a subtle floral and herbal note, which is also found on the palate. Multi-layered, mineral and fresh, Blanc des Rosis presents the famous grape variety identity of the region and is the classic par excellence not only for the winery. Elegant and full, it glides into an impressive final, increasing in depth and creaminess as it matures in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

Friulano Collio DOC 2021
Mineral and delicate Friulano, on the nose grapefruit, peach, white pepper, figs and bananas. Then deep and complex on the palate with further appetising flavours of tropical fruits, apricots and hazelnuts. Very long and with its salty swing great as every year! SUPERIORE.DE
"Golden pale yellow; fruity, elderflower, appealing; powerful, intensely fruity, nettle, round, delicate, very pleasant." Merum
"Sometimes you can just smell "beautiful", and this is one of those cases. Wafting, almost lacy aromas of white peach, apricot and Fuji apples dance from the glass. Hints of wet river rock and fresh herbs emerge as the wine opens. On the palate, the wine focuses on perfectly ripe stone fruit, wild flowers and crushed rock. Balanced acidity ensures that the wine gains momentum with every sip." Wine Enthusiast
"The Friulano 2021 is youthfully unobtrusive with a pretty bouquet that mixes lemon peel with mint and nuances of crushed rock. It washes over the palate with a tense mix of citrusy acids and salty minerals, while a core of tropical melon develops towards the end. The 2021 finishes on a more delicate note, but long and with pretty inner flowers still lingering. The beautiful balance and underlying power of this wine will ensure it ages beautifully in bottle. The best is yet to come." Vinous
"White peaches and cooked apples with undertones of flint and matches. Also some iron filings. Full-bodied but compact, dense and fresh. Very mineral, with undertones of dried peach, citrus and minerals and a bright finish. Very solid." James Suckling

Brilliant light straw yellow colour. Elegant aromas of gooseberry, smoke, some flint and lemon followed by a full body with powerful fruit and mineral nuances, very balanced, savoury and unmistakably high-class. SUPERIORE.DE
"Fresh and flavoursome on the nose with crushed apples, spicy herbs, mussels and citrus leaves. Medium-bodied, bright and lively with citrusy freshness, mouthwatering acidity and chalky minerality. Some salty undertones." James Suckling
"A Sauvignon of complexity and completeness, representative of the Capriva terroir. On the nose, notes of white apricot, then rosemary, bergamot and jasmine. Spicy and sweet on the palate, with a fruity note and a citrus finish." Luca Gardini

“Rivarossa” Rosso Venezia Giulia IGT 2018 · MAGNUM in OWC
Deep ruby red. Bright, fresh and savoury aromas and flavours of blueberries, flint, coffee and fresh herbs. Long and clean with soft tannins and very good clarity on the bright end. A beautiful, very refined wine with early appeal but also velvet paws creeping concentration and complexity. SUPERIORE.DE
"A delicate blend of smoky sage, wild blueberries, cracked chalk and dried violets makes the 2018 Rivarossa a total pleasure to take in. This is silky and cool-toned with a balanced inner sweetness that offsets its tart wild berry fruits as peppery herbal tones amass toward the close. The Rivarossa tapers off structured with edgy tannins that pinch at the cheeks as a note of black licorice lingers on and on. A lot is going on beneath the surface here, but it will be several years before the 2018 comes entirely into focus." Vinous
"Lovely blackberries, violets and blueberries with hints of dark chocolate. Medium to full body with creamy, polished tannins and a flavourful finish." James Suckling

“Mario Schiopetto” Friulano Collio DOC 2021
"M" stands for Mario Schiopetto. This is the wine that the children have dedicated to their father for years and it is the undisputed white flagship of the winery. This exceptional Friulano with a dash of Riesling seduces with elegant aromas of white flowers, a little smoke and spirited fruit. Ingeniously balanced, fresh and of considerable length and great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dried peach, mango and pear with some melon. Flint, too. Full-bodied, tight and focused center-palate with density and energy at the same time. Spiced pear and matchstick at the end. Very complex and complete. From 60-year-old vines in a single plot of Collio." James Suckling

"A", as it is called in the winery, represents the qualitative peak of Schiopetto. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes and a small part of Friulano, which come from a historic single vineyard site of the winery in the Colli Orientali and achieve a unique expression. A perfect synthesis between the expressiveness of Chardonnay and the aromatic complexity of Friulano, this white wine shows the quintessence and full personality of the Friulian territory and is dedicated to Mario Schiopetto. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is a very serious chardonnay with subtle aromas of apple pie, flint and lemon curd. Holding back, but enticing you with every scent. Full-bodied with density and energy and lots of flavors, yet it’s dry and racy at the end." James Suckling

The Schiopetto winery is one of the oldest wineries in the Collio region, which includes terraced vineyards between the towns of Gorizia and Cividale with a vineyard area of around 1,600 hectares. Because it quickly became an important pillar of the local wine industry and has remained so to this day, the founder and namesake Mario Schiopetto, who died at the age of 72, is also referred to as a pioneer of Friulian viticulture. The farm, situated on the rolling hills of Capriva del Friuli in the province of Gorizia, is now owned by Dottore Emilio Rotolo, who also owns the Volpe Pasini winery. Emilio Rotolo has entrusted the management to his son Alessandro, who is assisted by the experienced Lorenzo Landi as oenological advisor. In the cellar, Mario Schiopetto's son Giorgio, oenologist and agronomist, and Mauro Simeoni continue the work of the famous founder of the estate, always driven by great curiosity, with convincing passion.
Mario Schiopetto is considered the initiator of the quality revolution in Friuli's white wine sector. 30 hectares of vineyards are located in the fertile land surrounding the winery's headquarters - the ancient archbishop's palace in Capriva del Friuli - and further east on the site of the later acquired Podere dei Blumeri on the hills of Rosazzo in the Colli Orientali wine-growing area.
Here are some historical cornerstones without which the outstanding position of the winery today can hardly be explained: At the beginning of the 1960s, Mario Schiopetto decided to vinify his wines with thermocontrolled fermentation. From 1971, the winegrower was one of the first winegrowers in the region to refrain from adding sulphur to the must. At the beginning of the nineties, a new cellar with state-of-the-art technology was inaugurated, partly buried in a vineyard. It was also Mario Schiopetto who introduced a garden design concept for the plots in Friuli, after having his property checked by practice-oriented vine experts. The winery made a particularly happy decision in 2007 when it mixed Chardonnay from the Colli Orientali del Friuli with the Friulano grapes from the Collio and created Mario Schiopetto Bianco from this merger.
The wines of the Schiopetto winery are marketed at the earliest one and a half years after the harvest. The top white wines are flawless in their fragrance, regularly have a uniformly high level and are also capable of ageing. SUPERIORE.DE
"Mario Schiopetto is not just a name or a brand. He is the wine-growing Friuli. A guarantee of absolute quality. As a traveler by profession, he visited the best wineries in Europe and combined German technology with French finesse in the service of the Collio."Gambero Rosso
