Schioppettino di Prepotto 2021, Petrussa
A monumental red for charisma, spiciness, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates noble spices with notes of crisp red fruits of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the tannin and the verticality of the sip. A display of style that represents the absolute pinnacle of Friuli.
Schioppettino di Prepotto 2021, Petrussa
The 2021 Schioppettino di Prepotto by Petrussa is a monumental work, the liquid essence of the Judrio Valley. The Petrussa family, guardians of a bespoke tradition, interpret Schioppettino (Ribolla Nera) with a nobility that blends wild spiciness with the fineness of velvet. The 2021 vintage was excellent in Friuli, characterized by a perfect balance between sugar ripeness and acidic tension. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of black peppercorn, berries, and violet merge with deep hints of incense, clove, and a mineral trace reminiscent of wet marl (ponca). On the palate, it is lively, architectural, and sumptuous; the entry is direct, dominated by a noble and finely chiseled tannin, with aristocratic balsamic freshness that extends the taste toward a spicy and endless finish.
