Ronchi di Cialla RiNera Rosso (Ribolla Nera) 2023

Ribolla Nera, crafted from younger Schioppettino vines, undergoes fermentation in stainless steel with native yeasts and minimal intervention. Aged for up to 18 months in oak barrels and 6 months in the bottle, it takes its name from a local term for the varietal. Schioppettino, once near extinction due to Phylloxera, reemerged in the late 1960s through the efforts of Ronchi di Cialla winery. Founded by Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi, the estate revived the grape in Friuli. Now, over 40 years later, Schioppettino regains popularity, with Cialla playing a pivotal role in its resurgence.
