The region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy is home to some spectacular hidden gems of the wine world. Located in the rolling hills on the border with Slovenia, the winemakers at Pitticco are using a native red varietal called Schioppettino, and the results are breathtaking. Aromas of wild plums and blackberries mingle with savory herbs, violet petals, and hints of tobacco. Aged 18 months in oak, it offers a velvety body, vibrant acidity, and polished tannins. Pairs excellently with hearty stews or grilled meats!
