Mildly interesting article by CourtneySchiessl in VinePair about the recovery of Schioppettino in Friuli:
VinePair:Schioppettino

The article gives (correctly) credit to Dina & Paola Rapuzzi/Ronchi di Cialla for the resurrection of the grape. But it overlooks the contributions of Benito and Giannola Nonino for pushing the effort to revive Schioppettino along.
A more complete story can be found in Vinous by Galloni:
Vinous:Schioppettino

Her characterization of Schioppettino as like a cross between Syrah and CabFranc and a gateway to Italian wine for French loyalists strikes me as a bit of a stretch. If anything, I find Schioppettino to resemble Refosco dal PeduncolaRosso more than anything....but whatever.

Anyway, two interesting articles on one of my favorite grapes.

Tom

Have had mixed but generally good results with Schioppettino from both Furlan and Dorigo. Not a grape you see around much.

Would love to find some Tazzelenghe but that is close to impossible to locate.
