I think Al...Great questions as usual, Orion Slayer. I think Alfonso covered pronunciation (thank God for my limited Italian--I actually got this one right in my head), and I've never had Refosco, so can't compare. For food we had it one night with risotto with butternut squash, sage, and parmesan (nice) and the other night with gnocchi with a cream sauce and ham (also nice). Alfonso, I am loving drinking these Italian varieties--so I will look for Tazzelenghe. And I will try some Ripasso as soon as I get out of Friuli and into the right region, Grape King. Stay tuned...Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-88656438574896355482008-01-23T21:46:00.000-08:002008-01-23T21:46:00.000-08:00Nice review!

They can usually be found for around $15 and have some very interesting profiles...

Wonderful to have someone write about this rarity...it's what makes Italy the fountain of inspiration for wine lovers around the globe.<BR/><BR/>And an excellent value @ $15.<BR/><BR/>pronunciation is Ski-ohp-pet-tee-no<BR/><BR/>Another interesting red wine from those parts is Tazzelenghe.

How does Schioppettino compare with Refosco? Thanks for posting on such an unique wine!Orion Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638671012109650988noreply@blogger.com
