Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy

A beautiful expression of one of Friuli’s most fascinating indigenous red grapes. I Clivi is a family estate dedicated to organic farming and terroir-driven wines, producing elegant, precise bottles that showcase the unique character of Friuli’s historic vineyards.

Made from 100% Schioppettino grown on the hills of Prepotto, where old vines grow on the region’s famous ponca soils of marl and marine sediments, this wine captures the variety’s natural elegance, freshness and distinctive spicy character.

Fermented with indigenous yeasts and crafted to preserve purity, the 2023 vintage shows aromas of wild cherry, strawberry, violet, black pepper and subtle liquorice. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with bright acidity, silky tannins, delicate red fruit and a savoury, mineral finish.

A rare and expressive Italian red that sits beautifully between the elegance of Pinot Noir and the aromatic spice of Northern Rhône Syrah.

A true Appellance-style wine: indigenous variety, organic farming and a pure expression of Friuli terroir.

Perfect slightly chilled with charcuterie, mushrooms, roast poultry, grilled meats or aged cheeses.
