We have one\u003cbr\u003eof the few plantings in California. An ancient grape, Schioppettino, which means “gunshot,” was first\u003cbr\u003ementioned in print for wedding ceremonies in 1282. It is distantly related to Syrah and Pinot noir, and shares\u003cbr\u003ethe peppery nose.\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes were destemmed and crushed, then fermented in very small stainless-steel tanks. We did a\u003cbr\u003emixture of manual punch downs and pump-overs. The tiny lot of wine fit into only two puncheons. We\u003cbr\u003eused the larger format puncheons instead of normal barrels to slow down the aging and preserve the\u003cbr\u003earomatics.\u003cbr\u003eThe pH is 3.58, the TA is 5.51 g\/l, and the alcohol is only 11.0 %. 146 cases produced.\u003cbr\u003eThe Schioppettino has fascinating flavors of cedar, white and black pepper, flowers, and raspberry. It is\u003cbr\u003eincredibly fresh tasting, with a stony minerality underlying the cooling flavors. It has naturally low alcohol\u003cbr\u003eand a very refreshing and clean finish. Tons and tons of flavor, yet feather light on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Grey","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47525981585571,"sku":"81585571","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/matthiasson_red_proto_250px-1663098378550.png?v=1756564971","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/matthiasson-schioppettino-2018-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
