I Clivi di Ferdinando Zanusso Schioppettino, Venezia Giulia IGT, Italy Coravin mature perfumeTheres 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.
