I Clivi

I Clivi has mastered a style of precision and purity based on natural practices, traditional varieties and a sense of place. The Zanusso family farms old vine, hillside parcels in both Collio and Friuli Colli Orientali and prefers using only stainless steel and cement to refine their wines. The goal is to communicate an uninfluenced interpretation of varietal character and terroir. Their whites are crisp and chiseled, not depending on ripeness alone to please, and mature amazingly well over time. Even with the 2021s, with their grace and finesse, I’d be hard-pressed to peg these as wines from a warm and dry vintage. The Schioppettino puts on no airs, yet instead impresses with its spunky nature and woodland character. It’s a perfect food wine or a red to enjoy with a slight chill on a hot summer day.
