Details
This red’s got serious swagger - spicy and layered with ripe red cherries and plums, backed by dried cranberries and a little herbal wildness (think rosemary and thyme vibes). There’s a touch of white pepper, liquorice, even a whisper of tobacco in the mix, adding depth without weighing it down. Juicy tart cherry and dried violets bring the palate to life, while smooth tannins and bright acidity keep it super drinkable. Hints of vanilla, cedar, and dark chocolate glide in on the finish, which is super long and straight-up delicious!
Nestled in the verdant hills in the east of Friuli, Le Celline is all about celebrating Italy’s best-kept wine secrets. This small, family-run estate leans into the traditions of their home turf — think native grapes, hands-on farming, and a love for the land that runs deep. Here, it’s less about chasing trends and more about bottling the true spirit of Friuli: fresh, vibrant, and fiercely authentic. Local varieties, harvested by hand and made with care. Le Celline shines by championing local varieties like Refosco and Friulano, crafting wines that feel like a lively conversation around a family table. With a focus on sustainable practices and low-intervention winemaking, they let the fruit (and the region’s magic) do all the talking. The result? Wines that are refreshingly real, gorgeously food-friendly, and packed with personality.

Pairing guide
Le Celline Schioppettino 2022—a red that whispers spice and seduces with elegance. This northern Italian gem (say that five times fast) is all about fragrant blackberries, cracked black pepper, and a gentle floral lift that makes your palate sit up and take notice. When it comes to food, think dishes that mirror its balance of finesse and flair. Pepper-crusted duck breast? Yes please. Truffle mushroom risotto? Absolutely. It also plays brilliantly with charcuterie—especially those with a little fennel or spice—and can even charm its way through a smoky aubergine parmigiana. Basically, if your plate has a savoury backbone and a bit of earth or spice, this wine’s ready to tango.
