The final wine of the day was this Furlan Castelcosa schioppettino. I found this to be one of the most interesting wines in the quest so far. It has the nose of a big Southern Rhone red (read barnyard) leading me to expect a big wine with loads of tannin. Instead its a delicately sweet wine which is impossibly easy to drink. I have discovered that this grape has made its way to Sonoma County CA. I will absolutely be seeking out more of this grape. Thankfully it was able to come back from the brink of extinction.
