It is a native grape of Friuli and is cultivated mainly in the municipality of Prepotto. Its original name was black Ribolla. It owes its current name to its characteristic carbonation given by its high acidity that is felt especially when it is bottled young. Schiopettino can also be enjoyed as a table grape. The wine has a deep purple colour, not very alcoholic, and has good acidity that gives it a fresh and citrine taste. Its aroma is reminiscent of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry. It is perfect to accompany meat dishes.
