Tasting Notes: Ciallabianco a blend of 60% Ribolla Gialla, 30% Verduzzo, and 10% Picolit fermented in oak barrels; retains a clean acidity on a broad weighty frame. Mineral driven with stone fruit, honeydew melon, chamomile. Organically farmed in this historical family run Friuli estate bordering Slovenia. One of Italy’s truly age worthy wines this can be drunk now or over the next 10yrs with proper cellaring.
Estate History: The Ronchi di Cialla winery was founded by Dina and Paolo Rapuzzi in 1970. With the help of Bernardo Bruno, the mayor of Prepotto, the Rapuzzi's found a small plot of forgotten native Schioppettino vines. The Cialla estate took cuttings from the best shoots and cultivated a vineyard of 3,500 vines. The first vintage of their Schioppettino was released in 1977. Now, more than forty years later, Schioppettino has regained popularity, thanks in large part to the Cialla estate.
