dried herb and brown spice take shape in the glass

Wood aging brings a perfumed character to the bold black fruits from old vines

but give this wine a year or two of maturity to reveal its sweet fruit

The amazing bouquet is dominated by cherry

Matthiasson Schiopettino 2020 12x750ml 2020 skus_6595147 dried herb and brown spiceThe Schioppettino has fascinating flavors of cedar, black pepper, violets, and raspberry. It is incredibly fresh tasting, with a stony minerality underlying the cooling flavors. It has naturally low alcohol and a very refreshing and clean finish. The tiny lot of wine fit into only two puncheons. We used the larger format puncheons instead of normal barrels to slow down the aging and preserve the aromatics.
