Friuli-Venezia Giulia Flashcards

1
Q

Mario Schiopetto

A
  • Introduced modern white winemaking in Friuli
  • Controlled cold fermentation in stainless steel, coupled with region’s moderate temperatures, led to Friulian crisp, clean style for quick consumption
  • Refined through the years with non-invasive practices like gravity flow and minimized use of sulfur, yet critics contend that winemaking has become too clean - even clinitical
  • Continuous experimentation, whites may be blended, barrel-fermented and aged, lush rather than lean
