Moschioni

Michele Moschioni did a fantastic job with the 2015 vintage despite the warm, dry and windy conditions. Each wine displays a vivid core of pure fruit, both guided and lifted by fresh acidity. The Schioppettino was a showstopper. iIt is important to keep in mind that Moschioni will allow his grapes to dry for anywhere from four days or more before crushing. In the case of the 2015 Schioppettino, drying lasted twelve days. While this adds depth and slight glycerol weight, it’s far from the richness and intensity that extended appassimento creates in a wine like Amarone. In some cases, the drying is more of a necessity than practice, like with the Rosso Real, where the Tazzelenghe is dried for four to six days while waiting for the Cabernet and Merlot harvest. No matter the approach, the end result is really something special. The Moschioni winery is located in Gagliano near Cividale del Friuli and encompasses 12 hectares of all red grape varieties, most of which are indigenous. Many of these vines are 60 to 80 years old and all farmed with organic practices.
