I Clivi di Ferdinando Zanusso Schioppettino, Venezia Giulia IGT, Italy Coravin the wine remains remarkably elegantTheres something deeply reverent about Schioppettino grown in Friuliparticularly when it springs from vines more than half a century old, farmed with care on a southeast facing slope of Ponca rich soil. In the hands of I Clivi, this rare indigenous grape is elevated to something elemental. No makeup, no manipulationjust the clean, honest voice of the land, guided gently into bottle by a family with roots in both faraway lands and these very hills.
