Schenk Italia

Schiopetto is a symbol of Friulian excellence, synonymous with elegance, precision, and respect for the land. Founded in the 1960s by Mario Schiopetto, considered one of the fathers of modern Italian white wine, the winery revolutionized the way native grape varieties of Friuli Venezia Giulia are interpreted, elevating them to new levels of finesse and international recognition. Located in Capriva del Friuli, in the heart of the Collio area, the estate continues to follow its founder’s vision through a project that blends tradition and innovation, always guided by a deep connection with the territory. Schiopetto’s production philosophy is based on a respectful approach to nature and meticulous attention to every stage of the process, from vineyard to bottle. The vineyards extend over marl and sandy soils rich in minerals, which give the wines their unmistakable freshness, sapidity, and longevity. Among the cultivated varieties stand out the typical grapes of the region, Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, pure and vibrant expressions of the land. In the cellar, winemaking is carried out with precision and sensitivity: controlled fermentations, balanced use of steel and wood, and long aging periods that allow the wines to develop complexity and harmony while preserving their natural elegance. Every bottle of Schiopetto embodies the essence of Collio: a perfect balance of tradition, identity, and contemporary style, capable of conveying the greatness of Friuli Venezia Giulia in every glass.
