Rodaro – Schioppettino ROMAIN 2009

DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli

To the eye it’s an intense ‘inky’ ruby red.

With such depth, for all the world, it’s as though it’s staring back at you.

Take it from us, this is a wild one. And complex with it too.

From primary to tertiary notes, you’ll encounter forest fruits and woodland aromas sparring with red berried preserves, balsamic notes, green peppers, violas, spices and crushed black pepper. Not to mention flying etherial notes that speak of a Hendrix like evolution.

This is a SCHIOPPETTINO we really like.

On the palate it sings of many things….yes it’s big, it’s intense, it’s complex but it’s also soft and alluringly beautiful. Smooth tannins find peace with the wines medium acidity and tasty minerality making for one big happy equilibrium.

And it’s persistent about it with vanilla, dark chocolate, balsamic, sweet spiced notes of nutmeg and liquorice all sharing centre stage.

All the time it just keeps coming at you. Is this a good wine ?
NO. It’s a flippin’ SUPER wine …… SCHIOPPETTINO you WILD THING, we think we love you ! Take a bow Paolo Rodaro!
