Ribolla Nera is a synonym for Schioppettino, an indigenous Italian grape known for making light, peppery wines. Ronchi di Cialla's Ribolla Nera is a benchmark wine; it is always a fine example of the best that Colli Orientali has to offer. A dry, elegant palate of light black cherry, sprinkled over with black and pink peppercorns and roughened up with charcoal tannins, will bring a smile to your face. An easy choice for fans of all the unique, food-friendly varieties Italy has to offer. Serve with roasted poultry or fried fish (especially cod) with peppers and onions.
