A dark-skinned varietal native to the Colli Orientali in Friuli, Italy. Almost lost to antiquity after phylloxera destroyed this area, the Schioppettino is making a small comeback. First chronicled in the 13th century, the Schioppettino can produce fine reds that are medium to full in body (especially for that region) and similar in aromas and flavors to Syrah. Also known as the Ribolla Nera.
