Nv Napa Valley Schioppettino, Matthiasson Vineyard No.2 Non-Vintage Napa Valley Matthiasson Vineyard Schioppettino No. 2 Schioppettino (also called Ribolla Nera) originates in the Friuli region of Italy and Slovenia. We have one of the only plantings in California. An ancient grape, Schioppettino, which means “gunshot,” was first mentioned in print in for wedding ceremonies in 1282. It is distantly related to Syrah and Pinot noir. The wine is 100 percent Schioppettino. This second non-vintage bottling is a combination of our 2016 crop and our 2017 crop. We grafted the budwood onto mature Merlot vines in 2008. So far it has thrived in the moderate marine-influenced climate here at the southern mouth of the Napa Valley. The wine is a non-vintage blend of 1 barrel of 2016 wine and 2 barrels of 2017 wine. We loved the combination of primary and secondary flavors that the non-vintage blend gave us. In both years the grapes were destemmed and crushed, and fermented in very small stainless steel tanks. We did manual punch downs. We pressed after approximately two weeks on the skins, and aged the wine in neutral barrels for 20 months for the 2016 and 8 months for the 2017. The pH is 3.8, the TA is 4.8 g/l, and the alcohol is 12 %. 76 cases produced. The Schioppettino has fascinating flavors of cedar, black pepper, violets, and raspberry. It has lots of acid and stony minerality. It has naturally low alcohol and a very refreshing and clean finish. The Vineyard The Schioppettino represents 2 rows in our home vineyard in the Western Oak Knoll area of Napa Valley. It was grafted onto 18 year old Merlot vines. Organically managed, with fruit trees at the ends of the rows and flowering bushes throughout for “good bug” habitat, the vines are serenaded throughout the season by kids, coyotes, owls, bees, and the occasional roar of one of our old tractors.

  • Red Wine "Schioppettino"
    SCHIOPPETTINO AUTOCHTHONUS D.O.C. Friuli Colli Orientali RIBOLLA NERA, CALLED SCHIOPPETTINO IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PREPOTTO AND SURROUNDINGS, IS DEFINITELY A FRIULIAN INDIGENOUS GRAPE VARIETY, ORIGINATING RIGHT FROM THE PREPOTTO AREA AND MAINLY GROWN THERE. ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE, THE WORD “SCHIOPPETTINO”, WOULD REFER TO THE CRACKLING IN THE BOTTLE OF ITS SPARKLING WINE (BEING ONCE BOTTLED WHILE STILL YOUNG IT COMPLETED MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION IN THE BOTTLE, THUS BECOMING SLIGHTLY FIZZY), WHILE ACCORDING TO OTHERS IT WOULD RELATE TO THE FACT THAT ITS GRAPES, FLESHY AND CRUNCHY, SEEM TO CRACKLE IN THE MOUTH WHEN ONCE TRIES TO EAT THEM. Technical characteristics Grape variety: Schioppettino in purity Wine typology: Dry red Vineyard name: “Ronco Grassi”, located in the municipality of Corno di Rosazzo Nature of soil: Marnous-arenaceous rocks of eocenic origin rich in mineral salts and many other micro-elements Altitude: 200 m a.s.l. Year of planting: 2000 Exposure: South-east Grape yield per hectare: 80 qt. Growing technique: “Cappuccina” Harvesting: Very late with withering on the vine; manual with grapes selection. Vinification: Once the grapes have been delicately destemmed, they go through a process of maceration for a period of time of 6-8 days, so as to allow optimal extraction of the colouring, tannin and aromatic fraction of the grape skins (the whole process is encouraged by frequent drawing off of the must and pumping it over the cap). During this stage the alcoholic fermentation begins. The vinification process goes on with the drawing of the wine off the vats and the pressing of the crushed grapes.

Colli Orientali del Friuli Type of winewine:::: Dry red Grape varietyvariety: Schioppettino Training systemsystem:::: Guyot HarvestHarvest:::: Grapes were harvested by hand in the second half of October. VinificationVinification:::: Following extreme pruning of the plant during veraison, the grapes are harvested by hand. This is followed by destemming and soft pressing. The resulting must is left to ferment using indigenous yeasts with skin contact for about 20 days. During this phase, the must is frequently pumped over to favour the passage of colour and noble elements, characteristic of a fine red wine taken from the skins during fermentation. Once the wine is drawn off the lees, it is left to settle in small oak casks for about 18 months before being bottled and put on the market two years after harvesting.
