Ronchi di Cialla's Ivan Rapuzzi is credited with saving this fantastic grape (aka Ribolla Nera) from extinction, and his top cuvée issues from a vineyard that bears the appellation Schioppettino di Cialla in honor of his efforts. It's a luscious, roasty, herbaceous and spicy red with a texture similar to top Right Bank Bordeaux and a commanding presence that marks it as one of Italy's finest red wines. Organic viticulture.
